Midday Sunshine

This painting features a strong play between darks and lights, shadows and sunshine. In the foreground the grasses and plants have flowers dotted between them, leading up to a tree that shades a part of the path that cuts through the field. Because the path is high up there is no background other than the vastness of the clear blue skies.
