A bright yellow valley cuts through the center of the canvas like a lightning bolt. Smooth, rolling orange hills unfurl on either side of the valley. Portions of the hills appear to be in shadow and are rendered in shades of dark brownish red. Above the landscape, yellow and white cloudlike forms swirl in a blue sky.
