Title: Oil painting Relaxation on the river Oksana Kalenyuk Description: NoAAA4705The oil painting on cardboard titled "Relaxation on the River" beautifully captures a serene riverside moment, where nature and human presence harmoniously intertwine. The composition is filled with movement and vibrancy, achieved through thick, impasto brushstrokes that bring the landscape to life. The painting exudes a sense of peaceful solitude, allowing the viewer to immerse themselves in the tranquil atmosphere of the river. The sky is painted in refreshing shades of turquoise and soft pastels, with delicate clouds drifting across the horizon. The combination of warm and cool tones creates an airy, open feeling, suggesting a bright afternoon where the sunlight gently illuminates the landscape. The sky's colors reflect subtly on the water's surface, merging the elements into a unified composition. In the background, a distant village appears nestled among rolling green hills, its presence subtly indicated by dashes of white, red, and blue. The impressionistic style captures the essence of rural life without rigid detail, allowing the viewer to interpret the scenery through emotion and texture. The distant buildings and trees form a backdrop that enhances the depth of the painting, creating a sense of vastness and tranquility. The trees along the riverbank stand tall, their foliage an expressive mix of deep blues, fiery reds, and earthy browns. The artist's dynamic brushstrokes convey the movement of leaves rustling in the breeze, adding energy to the composition. The reflections of these trees in the water further enhance the painting's depth, with shimmering blues and greens creating a rippling effect that suggests the gentle motion of the river. At the heart of the painting, a lone figure sits in a small wooden boat, drifting peacefully on the river. The figure, dressed in white, contrasts with the surrounding colors, drawing the eye toward this focal point. The posture of the person suggests quiet contemplation, as they relax and allow the boat to float with the current. The use of thick, bold strokes in the depiction of the boat and water adds to the tactile quality of the painting, making the viewer feel as though they can sense the gentle lapping of the waves against the boat's sides. The foreground is rich with textural details, where the riverbank meets the water in a vibrant interplay of greens, yellows, and browns. The brushwork captures the rough, organic nature of the terrain, adding a raw, natural beauty to the scene.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Relaxation on the river"* ARTISTS: Oksana Kalenyuk* SIZE: 15x20 cm/'5.90x7.87 inches'* MEDIUM: oil, cardboard* 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.
