One day, Van Dog rides to the countryside to paint a landscape. As he mounts his easel, mixes his paints, and contemplates the scenery, the landscape slowly unfolds in weird and wonderful ways. But Van Dog struggles to finish his painting — is he overwhelmed by his subject or is the richness of the countryside precisely what inspires him?
