Pastures, a Cloudy Day is a 1881 oil by Nathaniel Hone the Younger, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
This painting depicts a serene landscape of a pasture on a cloudy day. The scene features a green field with a few cows grazing in the foreground, while a line of trees and bushes stretches across the middle ground. The sky above is filled with large, fluffy clouds that dominate the upper half of the canvas. The artist's use of oil paint creates a sense of depth and texture in the scene, with visible brushstrokes adding to the overall effect. The color palette is muted, with shades of green, brown, and gray dominating the composition. For more information on the artist's technique, look up Nathaniel Hone the Younger.
