Title: Acrylic painting A babbling brook in the forest Mykhailo Patskan Description: NoAAA4899The acrylic painting on cardboard titled "A Babbling Brook in the Forest" captures a moment of movement and stillness in perfect harmony, presenting a dynamic and emotionally resonant portrait of nature's quieter wonders. The composition draws the eye along a small, cascading stream, weaving its way through rocks and roots, surrounded by the dense textures of a forest awakening with color and life. Every brushstroke contributes to a rich tapestry of tones and textures, immersing the viewer in a secluded woodland scene that feels both intimate and timeless. The stream itself is the centerpiece of the artwork, tumbling down through the terrain in a series of short, frothy falls and swirling pools. The artist masterfully uses cool hues-icy whites, silvers, and touches of lavender and slate blue-to suggest the clarity and movement of the water. These tones are applied with an energetic brush, mimicking the constant motion of the current and the sparkle of sunlight as it dances across the surface. The varying density of paint, from translucent washes to thick, impasto strokes, gives the water a sense of both depth and lightness. It's almost possible to hear the gentle murmur of the brook as it weaves its way downhill. Surrounding the stream is a woodland dressed in the rich tones of early autumn or late summer, with colors ranging from deep forest greens and earth browns to vibrant oranges and fiery reds. The foliage, though abstracted, suggests a lush forest canopy filtering golden sunlight down to the mossy floor. The interplay of light and shadow creates pockets of warmth amid the cool tones of the water and rocks. In the upper part of the canvas, shafts of light pierce through tree trunks, illuminating the background in a honeyed glow that adds a sense of time-perhaps it is morning, or late afternoon, when light is at its most poetic. The rocky formations through which the brook winds are rendered in dark, earthy tones-muted greens, dark blues, and umbers-offering weight and grounding to the composition. These elements, painted with confident and textured strokes, provide a visual contrast to the fluidity of the water. They act not only as a setting but as silent witnesses to the ever-changing life of the forest. Their solidity anchors the piece, while their rugged forms enhance the sense of natural, untamed beauty.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "A babbling brook in the forest"* ARTISTS: Mykhailo Patskan* SIZE: 30x20 cm/'11.81x7.87 inches' * MEDIUM: acrylic, cardboard* HAND PAINTED: Original painting from our collection* CONDITION: Photos provide accurate information about the product.About the artists: Mykhailo Stepanovych Patskan Born on January 18, 1961 in the city of Khust.
