Gentle brush strokes suggest movement, as if a light breeze is whispering through the grasses.In the middleground, clusters of trees rise with a calm dignity, their dense crowns painted in various shades of green, creating depth and a sense of lush refuge. The backdrop hints at a soft, pastel sky, possibly hinting at early dusk or late dawn, which bathes the entire scene in a tranquil, ethereal light."Field Of Varicolored Grasses in Late Summer (In The Virginia Hills)" not only showcases Holmes' mastery in capturing the essence of a landscape but also evokes a sense of peace and natural splendor, leaving the viewer with a lingering impression of having strolled through these very hills.
