Pastel on paper Paper: 29” x 40.5” Frame: 36” x 49”
A yellow farmhouse sits at the end of a long drive, tucked behind dark trees and tall grassy fields. The hills beyond the house have a distinct blue color, pleasantly bright against a pale, featureless sky. Apart from the sky, the picture’s colors are rich and dense.
