Title: Watercolor painting Winter wonder Boris Serdyuk Description: NoSERB 1202The Watercolor painting on Paper titled "Winter Wonder" captures the gentle and poetic side of winter, where nature is transformed into a dreamlike vision by the hush of snow and the subtle glow of evening light. The scene unfolds along a frozen river or snowy meadow, where a group of ducks floats quietly across the water, barely disturbing the stillness of the landscape. Above them, a delicate sky in hues of lavender, rose, and soft peach suggests the moment just before dusk - a time when the world seems to pause in admiration of its own quiet beauty. The artist uses the watercolor medium with masterful delicacy, allowing the pigments to bleed into one another in soft gradients that mimic the organic blur of twilight. The trees in the background are painted with gentle washes of blue, violet, and amber, suggesting both distance and seasonal stillness. Some stand leafless, with fine lines indicating slender branches reaching upward, while others are softened by the suggestion of snow-laden foliage, blending into the pale sky. This background forest creates a layered sense of depth, inviting the viewer to gaze beyond the immediate scene into the mystery of the woods. It evokes both memory and atmosphere - a place you may have once passed by on a winter walk, or imagined in a peaceful dream. The colors are harmonious and cool, yet touched with warmth, suggesting that even winter holds a hidden fire beneath its cold surface. The figures of birds - both those flying above and those gliding below - provide the only signs of movement. Five silhouettes in the sky, black against the glowing pastel of the heavens, bring life and a sense of freedom to the scene. Meanwhile, the ducks or geese on the lower edge drift calmly, their shapes simple yet recognizable, conveying unity and a natural rhythm. They follow each other in a line, adding a narrative of companionship and shared direction - a reminder of continuity, even in the frozen stillness. The snow itself is not just white; it is alive with color. Shades of pale blue, icy lavender, and soft pinks ripple across the foreground like delicate fabric. These subtle tints create a magical impression, turning a cold season into a wonderland of color and emotion. There is no harshness in this vision of winter, only softness, balance, and harmony. Even the shadows on the snow are not ominous but tender, as if painted with the memory of sunlight.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Winter wonder" * ARTISTS: Boris Serdyuk* SIZE: 19.8x28.3 cm/'7.79x11.14 inches' * MEDIUM: watercolor, paper* HAND PAINTED: Original painting from our collection* CONDITION: we tried to convey the maximum information with the help of photos about this productAbout the artists: Serdyuk Boris Petrovich was born on June 30, 1960 in the city of Konotop Sumy region.
