Description: | Signed: yes Description: A flat landscape under a vast grey and white sky is painted on a monumental scale. A cluster of thatched farmhouses dominates space on the left. A strip of turquoise above enclosed pasture suggests a coastal setting. Horizontality is interrupted by weather-beaten trees in the centre, painted with wispy dry brushstrokes. On the right, a figure rides a pony through the swiftly painted mass of dark bushes and grass dominating the foreground. Black dots and fine lines are used to describe thin twigs. An interesting texture is created in the cloudy sky through irregular brushstrokes and use of spatula. | Subjects: | landscape; figure; animal (horse) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Forges, J.
