Title: Watercolor painting Clouds over the ridges Boris Serdyuk Description: NoSERB 1205The Watercolor painting on Cardboard titled "Clouds Over the Ridges" captures the quiet majesty of a mountainous landscape veiled in atmospheric light and dramatic shadows. This composition evokes a deep sense of solitude, as though the viewer has stumbled upon a remote and untouched corner of nature just as the sky begins to shift with the motion of passing clouds. The painting blends cool and warm tones with precision, reflecting the complexity and beauty of highland terrain under a dimming sky. The foreground introduces us to a gentle river or mountain lake, painted in rich tones of blue and soft violet. The water mirrors the colors of the sky and surrounding slopes, making it feel both vibrant and contemplative. Small clumps of grass and reeds emerge from the water's surface, their earthy tones anchoring the viewer to the natural world while also emphasizing the delicacy of the medium. Subtle ripples in the water, formed by light brushwork, hint at a mild breeze stirring across the surface. To the left and right of the water, the terrain rises gradually into hills, painted with varying shades of green, russet, and umber. These soft gradients lead the eye naturally toward the more imposing ridges in the background. The hillsides are not overly detailed; instead, they are formed with expressive strokes and transitions of color that suggest the play of light over uneven ground - perhaps a valley in early evening or just before dawn, when the world is lit in moody purples and blues. The centerpiece of the painting is the majestic range of mountains in the background, their slopes cascading into one another with a sense of immense depth and grandeur. These ridges are rendered in dusky blues, lavenders, and muted indigos, forming a dramatic contrast with the golden-green highlights that peek through on the sunlit edges. The highest peak stands out with a strong silhouette, kissed by touches of ochre and rose that hint at a setting sun breaking through the dense clouds.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Clouds over the ridges" * ARTISTS: Boris Serdyuk* SIZE: 20x28.3 cm/'7.87x11.14 inches' * MEDIUM: watercolor, oil, cardboard* 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.
