Flock of sheep, c. 1930-1940

In Flock of Sheep, of a later date, it is the luminosity of the atmosphere which is of interest to the artist. By means of light shades of grey-blue, which virtually unite the scattered clouds and the mountains, by a few brownish yellows and ochres in the rendering of the bare plain, and the deep green strip which suggests fresh grass he gives a sense of the season when the flock of sheep with its shepherds leaves at the end of spring for the mountains.
