Title: Oil painting Frosty morning in the village Oksana Kalenyuk

Description: NoAAA4680

The oil painting on canvas titled "Frosty Morning in the Village" is a breathtaking portrayal of a quiet rural scene enveloped in the crisp, cold air of winter. Using bold, expressive brushstrokes and a striking color palette, the artist captures the essence of a village awakening under the frost-covered landscape. The textured application of oil paint enhances the depth of the scene, giving it a raw, tangible quality that immerses the viewer in the serene beauty of a winter morning. The focal point of the composition is a traditional village house with a thatched roof blanketed in thick snow. The bright ochre and orange hues of the walls contrast starkly against the cool blues and whites of the surrounding environment, suggesting the warmth that radiates from within. The small, dark windows with turquoise frames add a charming rustic touch, hinting at the presence of life inside as the village stirs from its slumber. The rough, uneven brushstrokes on the roof give the impression of freshly fallen snow, reflecting the morning light in shimmering shades of white and pale blue. Beside the house, a wooden fence and a simple gate stand partially covered in snow, marking the boundary of the homestead. The structure appears aged and weathered, its dark tones blending with the muted browns and grays of the background, reinforcing the timeless character of the rural landscape. Bare, twisted trees with dark, skeletal branches stretch toward the sky, their outlines contrasting sharply against the vibrant blue backdrop, adding a sense of quiet stillness to the composition. In the foreground, remnants of snow-covered ground merge with patches of exposed earth, creating a dynamic interplay of color and texture. The deep blues and purples of the icy surface contrast with the golden-brown tones of the land, suggesting the gradual melting of the frost as the morning sun rises. The artist's impasto technique gives the snow a thick, sculptural presence, making it appear almost tangible, as if it could be felt underfoot. To the right, a small cluster of chickens, painted in fiery reds and deep browns, peck at the ground, adding a lively and warm contrast to the cold surroundings. Their presence injects a sense of movement into the painting, emphasizing the rural simplicity of everyday life. The depiction of the chickens, though abstract, is full of energy, symbolizing resilience and routine in the face of winter's chill.
