Stroll through a wheat field under an undulating sky full of color This 1889 oil on canvas was one of Vincent Van Gogh’s favourite summer compositions and it features a cypress tree, a theme which the artist explored extensively. The painting, entitled ‘Wheat Field with Cypresses’ is captivating, with an undulating sky full of cloud and color, and a hillside full of movement and texture. This is a puzzle for a summer’s afternoon, a chance to unwind and appreciate nature. Look out for the art-themed whimsies as you take a deep breath of fresh, country air. Can you hear the golden wheat rustling as the wind blows? This is a lazy afternoon to enjoy life and to feel the sun warming you.
