I would add to the already existing critique (which is spot on). Here the direction of strokes have been placed well. The horizon properly uses horizontal strokes although they are smoothly bent slightly into downward hanging bows. The slight downward slope makes the strokes fall gently and seamlessly into the horizon line.

The grass strokes are more upwards (straight) in the center but the angle decreases as we go to the sides, especially the right part, where the tallest grasses are. This creates a wide, natural "V" shape of the foreground and makes the flowers in front distinguished from the background, giving the flowers front row & center, but also allowing the greater space of the background a deep depth, as it descends towards the horizon. Soon the flowers will sleep, but not yet. The effect of all of this is to give us a multiple layers not just of colors, but of flowers, grasses behind them, then a blue-yellow-deep-red sunset in order from top to bottom.
