Title: Oil painting In the evening field Oleksiy Ivanyuk Description: №Kalen 1556The oil painting on Canvas titled "In the Evening Field" captures a moment of rural tranquility at dusk, enveloped in a vivid palette of deep blues, lush greens, fiery reds, and golden yellows. The artist employs a bold impasto technique, layering thick, textured strokes of oil paint to create an almost sculptural surface that invites not only visual but also tactile appreciation. Each stroke is alive with movement, suggesting the gentle rustling of grass, the fading warmth of sunlight, and the quiet passage of time in a pastoral landscape. At the heart of the scene is a serene countryside field stretching across the canvas, its vibrant hues suggesting the rich tapestry of nature as it prepares to rest. The foreground is dominated by sweeping bands of red, orange, and yellow, which evoke the last rays of the setting sun as they drape the landscape in golden light. These colors are not static but pulse with energy, suggesting the painter’s emotional response to the land and sky in transition. To the left, a white cow grazes peacefully, half-submerged in a sea of dark purples and cobalt blues. Its soft, pale color stands in striking contrast to the deep, cool tones around it, drawing the viewer’s eye and offering a calm focal point amid the swirling chaos of color. The cow becomes a symbol of stillness — a living presence that connects the viewer to the natural rhythm of the countryside. It also serves as a gentle reminder of the agrarian life that unfolds slowly and cyclically, far from the noise of modernity. In the middle ground, nestled among thick vegetation, are the roofs of modest village houses rendered in warm, earthy tones. Their walls are lightly touched by the fading sunlight, and their placement in the composition — partially obscured by trees — suggests both comfort and seclusion. The foliage around them bursts with shades of green and violet, reflecting the cooling air of the evening and the mingling of light and shadow that occurs at this liminal time of day. Above, the sky is a swirling canopy of lavender, teal, and rose. Unlike a clear blue midday sky, it holds hints of change — of light surrendering to the oncoming night. The painter's expressive use of sky tones mirrors the emotion of the land below, as if nature itself is exhaling after a long day. The entire composition glows with a sense of warmth and nostalgia, yet there's also a hint of mystery, as dusk has not yet given way to night but promises it soon will.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "In the evening field"* ARTISTS: Oleksiy Ivanyuk* SIZE: 25x30 cm/'9.84x11.81 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.
