Description
The Oil painting Cardboard titled "The scent of summer forest" immerses the viewer in a vivid and enchanting woodland scene, where light, color, and texture unite to convey the unspoiled grace of nature. Executed in bold impasto, the painting radiates vitality and richness, with every stroke of the palette knife capturing the spirit of the forest as if it were alive and breathing. The artist leads the observer into a lush and fragrant summer forest, where wildflowers bloom at the edge of a clearing, and trees glow with fresh light, embodying both serenity and majesty. The composition is divided into two essential layers: the foreground of wildflowers and the dense backdrop of towering trees. In the lower portion of the canvas, an abundant field of lupines and other forest flowers fills the scene with bursts of pinks, purples, violets, and occasional fiery reds. The thick impasto strokes make the petals and stems almost tactile, as though one could reach out and brush against their softness. Hints of emerald green and turquoise weave between the flowers, enhancing the sense of freshness and giving the impression of light reflecting off dew-drenched leaves. The repetition of upward brushstrokes echoes the natural vertical rhythm of flowers reaching toward the sky, creating an impression of vibrancy and growth. The middle ground leads the eye into the forest itself, where the trunks of tall pine and deciduous trees rise proudly, painted in strong vertical lines with deep browns, muted reds, and charcoal tones. Yet, instead of darkness, the trees exude warmth, their forms interwoven with dappled sunlight. The foliage above and around them is depicted in radiant yellows, verdant greens, and cool bluish hues, suggesting the shimmering interplay of light and shade. These leafy crowns, painted with energetic dabs and swirls, create a canopy that filters sunlight and envelops the scene in a soft, glowing embrace. The background is composed of a denser thicket, shaded in cooler tones of blue, green, and gray. This depth contrasts with the brightness of the clearing, enhancing the feeling of stepping from shadow into a sunlit glade. The darker backdrop emphasizes the brilliance of the flowers and the illuminated tree in the center, whose bright yellow-green leaves catch the most light, becoming the natural focal point of the painting.
