Vega, Landscape with Dark Clouds over a Plain

A wide, pale green plain stretches under a heavy band of grey-green clouds, with a soft yellow glow along the horizon. Faint blue hills and small white buildings are scattered across the flat land, rendered in loose watercolor washes with touches of pastel.
