Stacks of Wheat (End of Summer)

What you see

Two stacks of wheat stand in a harvested field: a small one on the left and a much larger one on the right, nearly reaching the horizon. Behind them runs a band of trees with a few pale-roofed houses and, farther off, a low hill. The pale sky fills the top of the picture, and the eye moves back and forth between the stacks.

The light seems low and warm: the stacks glow pink and orange along their edges, while their shadows turn blue and violet across the field. The sky shifts from yellow to pale green. The strokes are short and criss-crossed. Look for the small bundles of straw at the foot of the big stack and the reddish signature in the lower left.
