A quiet meadow near sunset.  Soft colors contrast the boldness of the palette knife strokes to produce a lively, yet peaceful scene.  My wife and I stayed at a remote B&B in England.  It was right on the ocean in the south of Cornwall.  The vistas over the ocean were spectacular, but what really captured me were the pastures and meadows.  We arrived late the first night and hoofed it across the meadow, through cow patties and all, to the local pub for some dinner.  The light was fading as we crossed the meadow.  Can you fall in love with a field?  The ocean was beautiful, but it was the land, the earth, the history of that dirt, that I felt passionate about right then.
