This is a highly expressive and beautiful painting that is full of the texture and light of the hills in the National Grasslands. Many of the colors reflect the shadows of the clouds and the lovely deep purples used in the foreground of the painting allows the viewer to see the splashes of color in the abundant wildflowers. I love the wild movement of the clouds in the sky. The bold brush strokes let know that the clouds are moving fast across the horizon creating shadows on the hillsides. The wonderful use of lights on the tops of the hills indicate the sun breaks through the clouds at intervals in this wonderful and highly expressive painting.
