Soutine stylee. I wanted to emphasize the amount of space I could see from the bottom of the valley to the top of the hill. So much so, that I had to push the clouds below the hill top when in reality they were miles above the horizon. The whole scene is quite dramatic. Its a winters evening so the right hill is almost in dark shadow and a raking light is just catching the tips of the trees. The right foreground trees are white? The left hill is in full autumn splendour as is the background. Fictitious naming of the hill, it had no name. I have named it after a farmhouse on the hill, such a scene deserves it.
