I was impressed by the variety of tones and textures across the “empty” field… which is the majority of the picture. Looking at it now, I am even more struck by the lovely liveliness of the sky which is absolutely necessary to contrast with and emphasise the field.

Not an exact match, but the general feel of the space and the note that the sky is "bright" makes it a possible inspiration for cornfield.
