Title: Oil painting A walk through the city park Alex Kalenyuk

Description: №AAA4695 The oil painting on canvas titled "A Walk Through the City Park" captures the serene beauty of a leisurely stroll through a lush, sunlit park, nestled within the urban landscape. The artist’s use of expressive brushstrokes and vibrant colors brings the scene to life, creating a sense of movement and atmosphere that draws the viewer into this peaceful moment. In the foreground, a winding pathway lined with a rustic wooden fence leads the eye deeper into the composition. The pathway is depicted with loose yet deliberate brushwork, giving it an organic, uneven texture that suggests the wear of countless footsteps over time. Along this path, several figures can be seen enjoying their walk. Clad in bright, warm colors—one in deep red and another in shades of pink and blue—these figures stand out against the cooler tones of the surrounding foliage, creating a striking contrast. Their relaxed postures and slow gait evoke a feeling of calm and contemplation, as if they are savoring the fresh air and the beauty of their surroundings. The middle ground is dominated by lush greenery, painted in a mix of deep blues, purples, and vibrant greens. The artist uses thick impasto strokes to build texture, making the trees and bushes appear almost sculptural. The foliage is dense yet dynamic, with some leaves catching the sunlight and glowing in a soft, golden hue, while others are shadowed, adding depth and dimension to the composition. The trees, tall and expressive, seem to sway gently in the breeze, their branches forming a natural canopy that provides shade and tranquility. In the background, beyond the park’s lush vegetation, a cityscape emerges, bathed in soft, glowing light. The artist employs a delicate blend of whites, creams, and warm ochres to depict the buildings, which appear almost ethereal against the deep blue sky. The structures are rendered with a loose, impressionistic touch, allowing them to blend harmoniously with the surrounding environment rather than dominate it. This subtle integration of urban elements within the natural setting reinforces the theme of coexistence between city life and nature, highlighting the park as a sanctuary of peace amidst the bustle of daily life. The sky, painted in soft blues and whites with hints of warm peach tones, adds to the overall sense of harmony. The clouds are depicted with thick, swirling strokes, giving them a dreamy, weightless quality.
