Sunset Over Poppy Fields Landscape Pastel

Description
This original pastel landscape captures a panoramic view of rolling countryside bathed in the soft glow of a setting sun. Executed in richly layered pastel, the composition unfolds from a vivid foreground of crimson and coral poppy fields into tranquil bands of turquoise, lavender, and muted green, leading the eye toward a distant village beneath a luminous, mist-veiled sky. Expressive, directional strokes create movement across the flowering meadow, while the atmospheric gradation in the hills and sky conveys depth and calm.
