Perhaps one of Rockwell Kent’s better known paintings of Asgaard, Clover Fields depicts the farm in warmer months. In comparison to another one of his pieces -Cloud Shadows- which was painted from a similar location, you can see that Kent has made changes to the landscape. One important aspect is that Whiteface Mountain -one of Kent’s favorites is not present in this piece. The attention to detail on the clovers is also somewhat uncharacteristic for Kent. This piece is still similar to many others. Kent’s use of light to illuminate the surrounding landscape and especially the middle of the piece is something seen in much of his work.
Here for comparison is Cloud Shadows. It has the same illuminated mid section, but you can see Whiteface on the left.
