Large rounded heads of blue and periwinkle hydrangeas fill the left side of the picture, set against broad green leaves. Beside them a weathered wooden fence post and rail lead the eye into a wide field of golden grain that shimmers in warm light.

A small pale farmhouse sits among soft trees on the far horizon, half veiled by a milky, overcast sky. The paint is applied in thick, creamy dabs that build up the petals and the rippling grass. The contrast of cool blue flowers and warm wheat-gold fields gives the scene a calm, quiet country feeling.
