This painting shows a landscape with a body of water in the background. The water is light blue and reflects the sky above it. In the foreground, there are green and yellow grasses. The painting has a soft, dreamy quality to it. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the impression of a gentle breeze rustling through the grasses. The artist's use of color and light creates a sense of depth and atmosphere in the painting. To learn more about the artist's technique, look up chiaroscuro.
