This landscape painting was inspired by a photograph I took myself in West Flanders, a region known for its vast fields and rural charm. The work shows a late summer Flemish field scene with hay bales, a blue sky and golden grain fields - typical images of rural Flanders.
With bright colours and lively brushstrokes, the painting captures the atmosphere of harvest time and the tranquillity of rural life. The contrasts between the warm yellow of the straw and the cool blue of the sky bring the landscape to life and evoke a sense of harmony and nature connection.
This work is an ode to Flemish nature, farm culture, and the simple beauty of the West Flanders landscape - captured in a classic, colourful painting.
