Title: Oil painting Viburnum on the table Oksana Kalenyuk

Description: Kalen 1278

The oil painting "Viburnum on the Table" is a textured still life that encapsulates the rustic charm and vividness of the viburnum's red berries. The artist employs thick, impasto strokes to build up the composition, giving it a tactile and dynamic quality that almost seems to pulsate with life. At the center of the composition is a lush bunch of viburnum, its clusters of bright red berries boldly standing out against the more subdued background. The berries are rendered with a mix of deep reds and crimson, with touches of black to add depth and roundness to each individual piece. The green vase holding the viburnum has a reflective quality, with highlights and shadows painted in varying shades of green and brown, suggesting a glass or glazed ceramic material. A large, rustic loaf of bread occupies the foreground, its crusty exterior depicted with a combination of browns and ochres that convey its texture and solidity. It rests upon a crumpled white cloth, its folds and creases adding to the overall sense of a casually arranged domestic scene. The background features what appears to be a kitchen setting, with a fireplace or stove painted in neutral grays and whites. Hints of a fire burning can be seen, suggesting warmth and homeliness. The wall and countertop are abstractly indicated, with strokes of white, gray, and hints of other colors integrated into the surface, giving a sense of a lived-in space. This painting is not just a static still life; it's a snapshot of a moment in a home, rich with the textures and colors of life. The choice of viburnum, bread, and the setting evoke a sense of abundance and domestic comfort, making "Viburnum on the Table" a celebration of the simple, tactile pleasures of everyday life.
