Description
The painting depicts a vivacious patch of flowers set on a flat field of grass.[1] This seemingly flat plain is pockmarked with shallow ponds that have been grown-over with aquatic plants. The painting has been noted for being heavily inflected on by post-impressionist artistic thought. According to the Metropolitan Museum of Art's description of the painting, Hassam's work was likely painted in East Hampton, where the artist spent his final years.[1]

gollark: Why NOT make a unary calculator, or a calculator which solves halting problems, or or one which only runs some sort of deranged LISP?
gollark: There are probably lots of ideas for calculators which haven't been explored much because they're "really stupid" or "mathematically impossible" or "against the laws of physics" or "entirely useless". NO MORE, I say.
gollark: Or use low power hardware and run it entirely off solar or something, there are many possibilities.
