Title: Oil painting In the shade of the trees Oksana Kalenyuk Description: NoAAA4683The oil painting on canvas titled "In the Shade of the Trees" is a mesmerizing depiction of nature's serenity, where light and shadow play harmoniously to create a peaceful riverside retreat. Through thick, expressive brushstrokes and a vivid interplay of color, the artist captures the essence of a warm day spent under the cool shelter of towering trees, offering both respite and reflection. The foreground is dominated by a dense cluster of trees with twisting trunks and thick foliage. The trees, painted in deep browns, greens, and hints of crimson, create a natural frame for the scene. The artist's use of impasto technique brings these elements to life, giving them a sculptural quality as if the bark and leaves could be felt under one's fingertips. The dappled sunlight filters through the dense canopy, casting intricate patterns of light and shadow on the forest floor, which is painted in rich ochres, deep blues, and warm earthy tones. Beyond the trees, a stunning view of a shimmering blue river unfolds. The artist masterfully conveys the movement of water with dynamic, textured brushstrokes that reflect the glimmers of sunlight bouncing off its surface. The river is painted in varying shades of blue, from deep ultramarine to lighter turquoise, giving it depth and a sense of gentle flow. The contrast between the cool tones of the water and the warm golden hues of the sunlit grass enhances the visual harmony of the piece. In the middle ground, a solitary figure dressed in white stands near the riverbank, gazing across the water. The presence of this human figure adds a contemplative and narrative element to the painting. The figure's posture suggests a quiet moment of introspection, perhaps admiring the beauty of nature or lost in thought. The use of bright white for the clothing makes the figure stand out against the darker shades of the surrounding landscape, drawing the viewer's eye toward this focal point. The background features a distant shoreline bathed in warm sunlight, with small houses nestled among lush greenery. The artist uses warm yellows, greens, and soft purples to depict the distant trees and buildings, creating a sense of depth and perspective. These softer brushstrokes contrast with the bold, textured strokes of the foreground, reinforcing the illusion of distance and atmosphere. The sky, painted in a mix of cool blues and soft pastel tones, suggests a bright but tranquil day.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "In the shade of the trees"* ARTISTS: Oksana 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 artists: Kalenyuk Oksana was born in 1964 in Rivne region.
