Title: Oil painting On the pasture silence Oksana Ivanyuk

Description: NoAAA5361

The Oil painting on Canvas titled "On the Pasture Silence" invites the viewer into a tranquil rural scene infused with warmth, tradition, and vibrant life. The artist masterfully uses rich textures and bold strokes of oil paint to capture the essence of a quiet day in the countryside. The composition centers around a sunlit pasture dotted with figures engaged in simple, pastoral tasks-gathering, conversing, perhaps resting-while herds of white cows graze peacefully nearby. There is no rush, no disruption; only a suspended moment of calm amid the rhythms of daily rural life. The foreground is painted with thick, impasto brushstrokes that give the grassy textures a lively movement. Pale yellows and fresh greens blend together to evoke the crispness of early morning light glistening off dewy grass. The central path, winding gently through the field, draws the viewer's eye toward the human figures-small but expressive-rendered in bright reds, blues, and whites that contrast beautifully against the earthy terrain. These figures, though not highly detailed, are full of life, suggesting warmth and quiet companionship. In the middle ground, a collection of traditional rural houses peek through the foliage, their red and ochre roofs nestled in the shade of tall, protective trees. The homes are portrayed with a rustic charm, painted in warm, saturated tones that imply both age and permanence. This cluster of village life reinforces the idea of stability and continuity-a world where little changes, and peace reigns. The background is a magnificent burst of color. Trees rendered in burnt sienna, ochre, and hints of violet and emerald rise above the houses, their dense canopies signaling the end of summer. Above them, a brilliant blue sky scattered with textured white clouds provides a calm yet dynamic backdrop. The stylized treatment of the clouds and their brushwork offers movement and softness that balance the painting's otherwise dense texture. The entire composition is imbued with a sense of nostalgia, a longing for quieter times when days moved slowly and nature was more intimately intertwined with human life. The artist's use of color is not merely representational but emotional-expressive of joy, peace, and the unspoken beauty of routine. Each brushstroke contributes to the overall atmosphere of serenity. Despite the scene being filled with activity, there is an overarching silence-one that settles into the soul like the quiet at the end of a summer day.
