Title: Oil painting Sand underfoot Boris Serdyuk Description: №AAA5321The oil painting on Cardboard titled "Sand underfoot" captures a moment of serene natural beauty, where a winding riverbank stretches through a vibrant landscape under a sky tinged with expressive clouds. The artist uses thick, energetic brushstrokes and a richly saturated palette to convey not just the visual experience of being in this environment, but also the tactile sensation suggested by the title—the warm, yielding texture of sand beneath one’s feet. The foreground is dominated by a curving sandy path, painted in soft tones of mauve, rose, and beige. These shades are layered with nuanced strokes of lavender and lilac, indicating the subtle interplay of sunlight and shadow. The texture of the paint here is particularly pronounced, mimicking the grainy, uneven surface of the sand. One can almost feel the softness of each step, the way the earth gives slightly under pressure, grounding the viewer in a sensory experience. This path leads the eye naturally toward the middle of the composition, where a gentle stream or river meanders alongside the sand. The water is depicted with a mix of deep blue, cool violet, and dark green, suggesting depth and movement. The brushstrokes in the water are smoother and more flowing than those on the land, providing a contrast that enhances the impression of liquidity. Reflections of nearby foliage and sky shimmer on the surface, giving the illusion of transparency and light bouncing off moving water. Flanking the river on either side are lush banks of greenery. To the right, thick trees and bushes burst with life, rendered in a mosaic of greens—from lemon-lime to emerald, with touches of ochre and sap. Their foliage is dense and alive, swaying with energy as if responding to a breeze. On the left, darker vegetation suggests a denser thicket or perhaps a forest edge, with deep purples and shadowy greens creating a sense of mystery and balance. In the distance, a line of trees meets the horizon, their silhouettes tapering into a range of bluish hills. This distant line adds depth and perspective, helping to frame the more intimate elements in the foreground. The soft atmospheric treatment of these background elements contrasts with the more textured and dynamic strokes used closer to the viewer, lending the scene a spatial rhythm that guides the eye across the canvas.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Sand underfoot"* ARTISTS: Boris Serdyuk* SIZE: 21x29.2 cm/8.26x11.49 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 artists: Serdyuk Boris Petrovich was born on June 30, 1960 in the city of Konotop Sumy region.
