Semi-abstract, colorful oil painting depicting a rolling, hilly landscape with many white and orange-roofed houses throughout.

Semi-abstract, colorful oil painting of a landscape. Largely shapeless, smaller hills are present in the foreground, streaked with varying shades of orange, green, yellow, blue, and red. Vague outlines of green trees and bushes grow out of the hills without leaves or flowers. The tall, rolling hills in the background are similar in color to the smaller hills, though with multiple houses throughout. The houses are uniformly white with orange roofs while two feature black windows. The sky behind the hills is white with streaks of blue and yellow across the top.
