About the artwork

A seemingly endless wheat field stretches like a golden ocean to the horizon, each stalk a fine flicker in the warm evening light. The ears of wheat sway gently in the late summer wind, creating a soft, calming sound reminiscent of the surf. The soil is fertile and dark, and in some places narrow paths can be seen where harvesters will walk in the future. At the edge of the field are individual, gnarled trees whose silhouettes add depth to the picture and provide shelter for pairs of birds preparing for the night.

The sky above the field is a spectacle of colours: First a deep indigo that fades into purple, then warm orange and finally soft rosé, where the last rays of sunlight illuminate the clouds from below. The sun itself slowly sinks and bathes the wheat in liquid gold; long shadows stretch out and lend the landscape an almost tangible calm. Reflections of light dance on the fine hairs of the ears of wheat and make the field glow like a thousand tiny flames.

An old barn can be seen in the distance, its wooden slats scarred by the weather, like a silent sentinel over the fields. The air smells warmly of dry hay and summer dust, mixed with a hint of honey. There is a sense of farewell and gratitude in the scene - the day may be drawing to a close, but the rich harvest promises a future and nourishment for the months to come. This picture breathes tranquillity, warmth and the timeless melody of country life.
