Title: Oil painting Meadow with animals Oleksiy Ivanyuk

Description: №AAA5801

The Oil painting Canvas titled "Meadow with animals" captures the essence of pastoral beauty with a striking blend of expressive brushwork, vibrant hues, and a sense of harmony between nature and living creatures. The scene unfolds across a wide, open meadow where the land stretches into a colorful horizon, bathed in an atmosphere that feels both alive and timeless. At first glance, the painting is dominated by three tall, slender trees rising from the center of the canvas. Their foliage bursts in vivid green tones, created with bold impasto strokes that give a sense of motion, as though the leaves are rustling in a soft breeze. These trees act as vertical anchors in a composition otherwise defined by sweeping horizontals and undulating color rhythms. The trunks are rendered with rich strokes of deep red and earthy brown, blending into the ground and suggesting the rootedness of nature within the meadow. The foreground is painted in earthy ochres, siennas, and touches of deep violet, creating a textured surface that suggests a freshly plowed or naturally uneven field. This ground is not static but dynamic, as if the soil itself breathes with life, marked by the bold gestures of the artist’s palette knife. Against this richly layered earth, small white animals—likely sheep or goats—dot the meadow. Their simplified, almost abstract forms give the impression of gentle movement, grazing peacefully under the watch of the towering trees. Their presence adds a sense of scale, emphasizing the vastness of the landscape while also reinforcing the quiet rhythm of rural life. In the middle ground, the artist employs a daring use of magenta, pink, and purple tones, which suggest distant hills or flowering vegetation. This unexpected choice of color imbues the landscape with an otherworldly quality, transforming a simple rural scene into a vibrant, almost dreamlike vision. These hues create a glowing backdrop that enhances the greenery of the trees and the stark whiteness of the animals, achieving a striking chromatic balance.
