Just like when the sun is setting and the sky is filled with pretty colors. nn nn Look closely at the painting. What do you see? The artist used lots of green and brown colors. What do you think they used those colors for? Yes, the field and the grass! It makes the field look so big and peaceful, doesn't it? nn nn See that dark line going across the painting?

Those are trees, far, far away! nn nn Now, let's look at the sky! Wow, so many colors! Can you name some of the colors you see? Pink, purple, blue! The artist used these colors to show how the sky looks when the sun is setting. Isn't it beautiful? nn nn This painting is like a window that shows us a peaceful evening long ago.
