This oil painting cardboard, titled "On a hot day in the field", the scene is filled with warm, golden hues, suggesting the heat of the midday sun, while the presence of grazing cows adds a sense of calm and rural simplicity. The foreground is dominated by a lush green field, painted in a mix of yellows, ochres, and earthy tones, reflecting the dryness of the grass under the scorching sun. The thick application of paint gives the grass a rough, almost tangible texture, emphasizing the movement of the land and the play of light and shadow across its surface. Small patches of darker green and brown suggest variations in the terrain, creating depth and realism. Scattered across the field, several cows graze peacefully, their forms rendered with bold, expressive strokes. The largest cow in the foreground, painted in deep brown and white, stands out against the sunlit field, while the others, more distant, blend harmoniously into the landscape. The animals' relaxed posture and natural placement enhance the overall feeling of stillness and simplicity that defines rural life. In the middle ground, a few wooden poles stand among scattered trees, adding vertical elements that break up the composition and provide a sense of structure. The trees, depicted in various shades of green and ochre, appear slightly windswept, their leaves and branches rendered with a loose, impressionistic style that suggests the shimmering effect of heat rising from the ground. The background consists of a bright sky filled with swirling clouds in shades of white, blue, and gray. The brushstrokes in the sky are thick and textured, giving the clouds a soft, billowy appearance. The contrast between the warm tones of the field and the cooler hues of the sky creates a balanced composition, emphasizing the vastness of the landscape. The painting’s color palette is dominated by warm, sunlit tones, with subtle variations in shading that suggest the intensity of the summer heat. The use of impasto adds to the richness of the scene, allowing the viewer to almost feel the warmth radiating from the ground and sense the quiet atmosphere of a rural afternoon.
