Brief Description
A landscape painting depicts a cloudy sky above rolling hills, with a muted, earthy foreground
Detailed Description
This horizontal landscape features a vast sky dominating the upper two-thirds of the canvas, filled with a mix of light blue and heavy, dark gray clouds. Patches of lighter, almost peach-colored sky are visible between the clouds, particularly towards the upper right and along the horizon line. Below the sky, a series of undulating hills stretches across the middle ground, rendered in muted shades of blue-gray and soft green. The hills appear layered, with darker tones in the foreground and lighter, hazier ones receding into the distance. The lowest third of the painting is an expansive foreground, primarily in a light, sandy brown color, with hints of green and darker brown brushstrokes suggesting uneven terrain or sparse vegetation. Visible brushwork throughout the painting gives a textured quality to the clouds and the land. The colors include cool blues and grays, contrasted with warm, earthy browns and subtle greens.
