This painting has a lovely simplicity. The underpainting on top is silver with brush strokes that feel like an abstract sky. On top of the silver is textured blue and grey strokes from pallate knife. The lower portion mimics the top except that the underpainting is gold with a hint of rolling hills on top. The middle line is part distant hills and part vegetation painted with a thicker texture than other parts to add contrast to the composition. There is no varnish, which allows the flat underpainting to show its beauty. The sides are finished so no framing is required.
