Stack of Wheat (Snow Effect, Overcast Day) is a 1890 oil by Claude Monet, a Impressionism work, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
You see a big stack of wheat in a field, painted in soft colors. The wheat is the main focus, but what's interesting is that Monet painted this scene many times, trying to catch the light at different moments. He even worked on several paintings at once, to compare the effects. Check out the work of Claude Monet to see more of his wheat paintings.
