Description

In this painting, the whole countryside is marked out in blue squares that seems like a chessboard. All of the activities are picturesquely grouped around a golden blaze such as men doubled over, women hurrying along the narrow paths, and people stooking sheaves of corn and loading carts.

gollark: You should MAKE LEMON GRENADES and BLOW UP LIFE'S HOUSE.
gollark: That saying is WRONG.
gollark: Actually, overfocus on weaknesses is also a weakness.
gollark: (@sinth)
gollark: Also, plugging other behaviors/habits into the very glitchy and problematic fear system seems like a bad idea.
