This painting shows a quiet countryside scene with two thatched-roof huts and a few bare trees. The sky is dark and stormy, while the ground stays green and still. A simple fence runs along the bottom, and a long stick lies on the grass. The artist used loose, watery brushstrokes to capture the mood of the storm passing over calm fields. The dark clouds contrast with the lighter, almost glowing green of the grass and huts. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like this.
