Title: Oil painting Crossing to the other bank Yuriy Suprunchuk Description: NoAAA4964The oil painting on cardboard titled "Crossing to the Other Bank" captures the tranquil beauty of a quiet riverside scene, steeped in the calm rhythms of rural life. The composition draws the viewer into a serene moment along the banks of a gently flowing river, where small wooden boats rest peacefully near the shore, waiting to carry someone across to the opposite bank. With expressive brushstrokes and a harmonious blend of earthy and cool tones, the painting evokes a strong sense of nostalgia and connection to nature. In the foreground, three boats sit partially submerged at the water's edge, their dark hulls reflected softly in the calm surface of the river. Their positioning-angled toward the center of the composition-naturally guides the eye across the water to the distant bank. The boats are humble and timeworn, suggesting years of faithful service in ferrying villagers, fishermen, or wanderers across the stream. Their presence is both practical and poetic, standing as silent guardians of the crossing. The water itself is a luminous centerpiece, depicted in shimmering shades of turquoise, blue, and jade. Gentle ripples capture the reflection of the sky, the trees, and the boats, adding depth and texture to the river's surface. Lily pads and floating leaves drift quietly, enhancing the natural stillness of the scene. Subtle touches of color-like the orange and yellow highlights among the vegetation-provide vibrancy without disturbing the overall calm. On the far bank, autumnal trees rise with warm hues of gold, ochre, and deep green. Their full canopies are painted with impressionistic dabs and swirls, suggesting a light breeze that brushes gently through the landscape. These trees form a protective boundary for the few modest cottages nestled among them. The rooftops of the houses are painted in soft purples and whites, providing a delicate contrast to the greens and browns of the surrounding foliage. These structures, with their simplicity and charm, imply a peaceful village where life moves at a gentle pace. The sky above is expansive and moody, with gray-blue clouds sweeping across it, suggesting the potential for change-perhaps the approach of a storm or the fading of daylight.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Crossing to the other bank"* ARTISTS: Yuriy Suprunchuk* SIZE: 20x30 cm/'7.87x11.81 inches'* MEDIUM: oil, cardboard* HAND PAINTED: Original painting from our collection* CONDITION: Photos provide accurate information about the product.About the artist: Zhitomir artist Suprunchuk Yuri Sergeevich Born on April 11, 1961, in the city of Zhitomir.
