The scene is quiet, but hardly still—the sky is unsettled, the grasses are unruly, and the weather appears to have its own agenda.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artist worked in thick, expressive layers of mossy green, earth brown, ochre, and smoky lavender. The richly textured foreground gives way to softer, hazier buildings and trees, while the small central figure leaves just enough unanswered. Where has he been? What is in the pails?
