Title: Oil painting Snowy road in the village Oksana Kalenyuk

Description: NoAAA4700

The oil painting on cardboard titled "Snowy Road in the Village" captures the serene yet dynamic atmosphere of a rural winter scene. The artist's expressive brushstrokes bring movement to the snow-covered landscape, where a small village nestled among the hills exudes warmth despite the cold surroundings. The thick application of paint creates depth and texture, making the snow appear almost tangible, reflecting the light of a crisp winter day. The composition draws the viewer's eye along the winding snow-covered road leading into the village. A lone traveler, bundled up against the cold, makes their way through the deep snow, leaving behind a trail of footprints. Their dark silhouette contrasts against the bright snow, emphasizing the journey through the quiet winter landscape. In the foreground, a horse-drawn sleigh moves forward, its horses painted with strong, gestural strokes that capture their energy and movement. The horses' rich brown and golden tones stand out against the cool blues and purples of the snow, creating a striking visual balance. The village itself consists of several small houses with steeply pitched roofs covered in thick layers of snow. The houses, painted in soft yellows, whites, and blues, blend harmoniously with the winter environment. Their warm glowing windows suggest the presence of life within, offering a sense of shelter and coziness amidst the vast, frozen landscape. The rooftops, dusted with pink and lavender hues, hint at the subtle reflections of a setting sun or an early morning sky. The sky above is an expressive mix of deep blues, warm yellows, and hints of green, suggesting the changing light of the day. The dark treetops and distant structures add contrast, enhancing the feeling of depth and space in the painting. The artist's use of thick impasto brushstrokes gives the sky a swirling, textured quality, as if the wind is gently stirring the cold winter air. In the foreground, dried grasses and shrubs peek through the snow, their golden and rust-colored hues adding warmth to the otherwise icy scene. These elements provide a natural frame for the composition, grounding the viewer in the rugged beauty of the countryside. The overall mood of the painting is one of peaceful solitude, capturing the timeless essence of winter in the village. The contrast between the cold landscape and the warmth of the homes suggests a deep connection between people and nature, where life continues even in the harshest of seasons.
