Title: Oil painting Spring on the meadows Alex Kalenyuk Description: №AAA5281The oil painting on Canvas titled "Spring on the Meadows" radiates with life, energy, and color, capturing the essence of renewal and abundance that defines the spring season. The artist utilizes a rich, impasto technique to layer thick, vibrant paints that evoke both the texture of the natural world and the emotional resonance of this joyful time of year. In the foreground, a lush meadow stretches across the canvas, painted in exuberant shades of lemon yellow, soft green, and blushing pink. The grass, dotted with wildflowers and playful brushwork, shimmers with movement, as if stirred by a light spring breeze. The palette conveys warmth and freshness, creating an almost tangible sense of the earth awakening after winter's slumber. A herd of grazing cows in varied hues—reds, purples, blacks, and browns—moves lazily across the central strip of the composition. Each animal is defined with purposeful but spontaneous strokes, giving them shape without overworking detail. Their forms become part of the landscape, emphasizing the harmony between the creatures and their environment. The inclusion of the livestock reinforces the pastoral setting and the timeless cycle of rural life. Behind the animals, the scene transitions into a grove of tall, slender trees rendered in vivid verticals of golden ochre, olive green, and pale cream. The trees stretch upwards, their leaves painted in whirls of impasto that pulse with sunlight. These trees, with their fluid, expressive forms, provide a vertical contrast to the horizontal sprawl of the meadow. They act as silent witnesses to the unfolding scene, their trunks flickering with reds and oranges as if catching the light of a late spring sun. The background is a breathtaking spectacle of purples, blues, and lavenders, forming a dense thicket or perhaps the shadows of distant forested hills. These tones, cooler and more subdued than the foreground, give the composition a sense of depth and a dreamy atmosphere. The boundary between the trees and sky is deliberately blurred, enhancing the painting’s impressionistic sensibility and emphasizing emotion over realism.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Spring on the meadows"* ARTISTS: Alex Kalenyuk* SIZE: 15x20 cm/5.90x7.87 inches'* MEDIUM: oil, canvas* HAND PAINTED: Original painting from our collection* CONDITION: we tried to convey the maximum information with the help of photos about this product About the artist: Born March 13, 1954, in the city of Piryatin, Poltava region.
