This painting shows a peaceful place in Denmark. See the water? It's a dark greyish-blue, like a calm lake or a bog. Do you know what a bog is? It's like a swamp, with lots of plants! The sky is cloudy, and the light is soft. nn

What kind of plants do you see around the water? Are they tall or short? What colors are they? nn

There are tall reeds and grasses, kind of golden and brown. There are also some darker green bushes. The land gently slopes upwards, like a hill. It's mostly muted greens and browns, like the colors of autumn leaves. See the darker green trees on the left? They look like evergreen trees, the kind that stay green all year round. nn

He uses soft colors – greens, browns, greys, and blues – to make the painting feel calm and peaceful. There's nothing loud or scary in this picture. It's all about quiet beauty. nn
