Blueberry Field 1
1959

A vibrant abstract painting featuring a large yellow foreground that resembles a hill or field, with two small figures in the middle distance, one in blue and the other in white and red. The background consists of a dark blue mountain range beneath a light blue sky with textured brushstrokes. The artwork has a simplistic and childlike quality.
