Wheat Field with Cypresses - 1889


This painting caught my eye due to the fact of the foreground being very detailed in the way it is depicted, while the mountains, sky, and clouds remain in their simplistic style. To me, it's almost like they're painted in two different styles. The clouds seem to be painted in his own view as well, looking kind of cartoonish. The red of the flowers in the bottom of the painting also break up the greens and blues used throughout the whole work, while complementing it nicely.
