For those of you with low vision:
This painting shows a brightly sunlit field with a tree-lined path running straight back through amber-colored tall grass to a horizontal sliver of sea, phthalo blue, under a pale cobalt blue sky with a few fluffy white clouds towards the hazy horizon. The darkly-silhouetted trees looming large along the path cut long shadows horizontally across the grass and foreground sidewalk, with one shadow cutting in from off-screen on the left. On the right, in middle ground, are two trees, paler in the sunlight, and behind them is a low white building with a vertical pole that echoes the telephone pole beside it. The grey, broken pavement path, with its dark shadowed wall of grass, runs straight to the horizon like a vertical bar (or tight triangle) almost dividing the painting in two, and patches of grass pop up along its a center line, alternating in shadow or yelow-amber sunlight.
