The lower one-third is the grey road lined by green on both sides through the fields; on the viewer’s left are fields in gold, green, grey, purple and brown, and on the viewer’s left of the road, a red shed with a purple roof, then a white farmhouse with a purple roof, and another shed partially obscured by the dust funnel rising up to mingle with clouds in the sky. Further to the left another red building with a purple roof and to the left of that another dust funnel (dust devil) rising up to the storm clouds and sheets of weather in the sky.

- Description
- View of the foothills of mountains. The foreground slopes downwards towards a valley in the middleground. The valley slopes are covered in green, ochre and pale red-brown grass, as well as, patches of dark green and black trees. On the valley's floor are indications of green and brown fields-small touches of blue and white in the valley (near the middle of the picture) may be buildings. Just beyond the fields are triangular hills which separate the valley from the plain in the distance. The right side of these hills are emphasized by the dark patches of forest. In the far distance are medium blue-grey mountains. The sky is light blue and is divided in half by a line of very pale white clouds with some pink blended in.
