Technical description

The painting Milling Weather was executed in autumn 1916, and is a variation on Milling Weather (K174), which Astrup painted more than ten years earlier. In contrast to the first version, the format is about twice the size. The motif is reversed and rendered in a different colour scheme. The foreground and middle ground are mainly done in a broad range of green tones – from silver-green and white-green, to yellow-green and dark-green tone that verge on blue, which create a strong complementary contrast to the red colours in the background.
