Title: Oil painting Past the outer houses Yuriy Suprunchuk Description: №AAA5302The oil painting on Cardboard titled "Past the Outer Houses" presents a vivid and poetic impression of rural life, capturing a fleeting moment in a landscape where nature and humanity meet in quiet coexistence. Painted in broad, expressive strokes with an earthy and cool palette, the artwork invites the viewer to step into the open countryside, where wide skies stretch above modest homes and meandering paths. At the heart of the composition lies the winding country road that cuts through the foreground, bending gently to the right and leading the eye toward a horizon lined with scattered trees and homes. The road is not grand, but it bears the evidence of passage—two figures in traditional dress walk along it, their white headscarves catching the light like beacons in motion. One wears a striking red garment, the other a softer blue, suggesting either a symbolic or generational contrast. They are not alone; just ahead, a third figure appears, and a pair of white geese waddle in the road’s direction, further emphasizing the pastoral rhythm of life. The village itself lies low and unassuming in the background, partially obscured by foliage and painted in creamy whites and muted browns. These outer houses appear to sit at the edge of the inhabited world, as if blending into the fields that surround them. The buildings do not dominate the painting; rather, they serve as quiet anchors of human presence within a natural world that feels far larger and more commanding. The sky dominates much of the canvas, its swirling clouds rendered in layered hues of pearl grey, cool blue, and faint lavender. Broad, sweeping strokes create the sensation of wind and vast openness, suggesting that weather and sky are ever-changing participants in village life. This monumental sky not only sets the mood but also enhances the humble scale of the human and architectural elements below. Sunlight filters through the gaps in the cloud cover, illuminating patches of land with a soft, golden glow and casting long, diffused shadows across the landscape. Foreground elements are alive with texture and movement. The land is broken into fields of green, violet, and ochre, dotted with wildflowers and patches of tilled earth. A wooden fence crosses from left to center, not perfectly straight but gently bent by time, possibly hand-built and weathered. Its rustic charm and disrepair convey a deeper sense of history and personal labor—a visual metaphor for the enduring nature of village life.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Past the outer houses"* ARTISTS: Yuriy Suprunchuk* SIZE: 14.8x19.8 cm/5.82x7.79 inches'* MEDIUM: oil, cardboard* 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: Zhitomir artist Suprunchuk Yuri Sergeevich Born on April 11, 1961, in the city of Zhitomir.
