Single Wheat Stalk

A wide field of golden wheat stretches beneath a clear blue sky, broken only by a long, low band of soft white cloud. A dark curved track cuts through the foreground, worn into the grain by wheels or footsteps, leading the eye toward a distant line of green trees. One tall, sturdy stalk rises alone near the path, its head bent slightly with weight, standing apart from the mass of gold behind it. A single leafy tree anchors the right side of the composition, its dark canopy a cool contrast to the warm field. The whole scene feels still and sunlit, a quiet moment in the middle of harvest season.
