About this work

This painting shows a strange, dreamlike scene. In the sky, a winged figure rides a fiery chariot pulled by two horses. Below, three people stand near a fence, herding sheep under a red archway. The colors are faded, with earthy browns, greens, and a few bright reds standing out. The chariot looks like it’s about to fly away, while the people below seem calm. The painting’s rough edges and uneven brushstrokes give it a handmade, almost folk-art feel. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching to see how artists create texture with lines.
