About this work

This painting shows a forest glade with trees and grass. The trees are tall and slender, with rough, textured bark. The grass is green and wavy, with some yellow flowers scattered throughout. In the foreground, the grass and flowers are depicted in loose, expressive brushstrokes. The trees in the background are more detailed, with visible knots and ridges in the bark. The overall effect is one of a peaceful, serene natural setting. The artist who painted this scene is Roderic O'Conor.
