For those of you with low vision:
This painting is a diptych; two square canvases, side by side, two similar landscapes in very simple shapes of slightly blurred colors. The left canvas is in an amber/sepia palette; the view looking across a pale foreground that could be the side of a road to a horizontal bar of orange- and sienna-green hedges/trees/shrubs with one dome of a tree standing taller next to a flag pole or similar mark, against a sky in whites and grays on a bright day with puffy clouds. The right canvas is in fuller colors, the view down a grey country road curving right, passing a middle ground of grass on the left in yellow- and orange-greens against a background horizontal bar of trees/shrubs dominated by towering domes of trees to the left and right, with the shadow of a foreground tree crossing the road in the middle distance. The painting is rendered in sgraffito marks of a fully-loaded palette knife.
