To describe the three plains in a painting, you can use:

-In the front I can see.......

-In the middle there is.....

-In the back there are.....

You can speculate on the message of the painting by using:

-I think the painting represents.....

-I think the author expresses.......

e.g. The title of the painting is The Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh, it belongs to the impressionist movement. It is a landscape, and the technique is oil.

The painting has cool colors mostly, and some yellow tones.

In the front I can see sort of a dried trunk of a tree, in the middle There is a picturesque little town, and in the back I can see a cloudy sky full of shiny stars.

I think the author wants to represent the beauty of night, as well as showing the calm and silence that you can experience when everyone is sleeping.
