You see golden wheat stacks in a field under a soft sky. The thick paint shows brush strokes clearly. Monet painted these stacks over and over, changing light and color each time. He worked fast in the field, sometimes using six easels at once. The stacks stood tall near his home in Giverny. Small changes in weather made big differences in how he saw them. Look for the same stacks at the Art Institute of Chicago.
