Title: Oil painting Near a quiet river Alex Kalenyuk Description: NoAAA4681The oil painting on canvas titled "Near a Quiet River" is a captivating depiction of a serene autumn day spent in nature, where golden foliage, a gently flowing river, and human presence merge into a harmonious composition. With bold, expressive brushstrokes and a rich impasto texture, the artist brings the landscape to life, making the viewer feel the warmth of the sun, the rustling of leaves, and the gentle whisper of the river as it meanders through the countryside. The foreground is bathed in earthy tones of warm ochres, deep blues, and sunlit yellows, creating a dynamic contrast between the water's reflective surface and the dry grasses and foliage along the riverbank. The thick layers of paint add a tactile quality to the scene, making the textures of the landscape feel almost tangible. The river, painted with fluid strokes of deep blues and hints of green, shimmers under the light, reflecting the changing colors of the sky and trees. To the right, a small footpath winds its way along the riverbank, leading toward the bridge in the middle ground. A solitary figure in a bright pink jacket walks leisurely along the path, adding a sense of movement and human connection to the tranquil environment. The vibrant color of the figure's clothing stands out against the muted tones of the landscape, drawing the viewer's eye and enhancing the depth of the painting. At the heart of the composition, a rustic wooden bridge stretches over the river, its white railings catching the sunlight. The bridge serves as a focal point, inviting the viewer to imagine crossing over to the other side, where trees cast long shadows and the quiet of the river becomes even more pronounced. Another figure, dressed in white and blue, stands on the bridge, gazing into the distance, perhaps lost in thought or simply enjoying the peacefulness of the scene. The background is a symphony of autumnal hues, with trees painted in rich greens, golden yellows, and deep purples. The artist's energetic brushstrokes create a sense of movement in the foliage, as if the leaves are swaying in a gentle breeze. The sky, a mix of soft blues and warm tones, hints at the late afternoon light, adding a dreamy, nostalgic atmosphere to the painting.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Near a quiet river"* ARTISTS: Alex Kalenyuk* SIZE: 15x20 cm/'5.90x7.87 inches'* MEDIUM: oil, canvas* HAND PAINTED: Original painting from our collection* CONDITION: Photos provide accurate information about the product.About the artist: Born March 13, 1954, in the city of Piryatin, Poltava region.
