Title: Oil painting Warm evening Alex Kalenyuk Description: №Kalen 1296"Warm Evening" is an oil painting brimming with the vibrancy and richness of a late summer's day transitioning into night. The artist has embraced the impasto technique, where thick, expressive strokes of paint leap from the canvas, creating a dance of texture and color that is both inviting and dynamic. The composition is a symphony of warm hues, with a sprawling tree taking center stage. Its trunk and branches are depicted with a blend of blues and purples, casting a cool contrast against the warmer tones of the background, suggesting the tree's robust presence in the evening light. The foliage of the tree and the surrounding vegetation burst with a kaleidoscope of colors—yellows, oranges, and greens melding together to depict the lushness of the landscape bathed in the golden hour's light. The colors are layered with a sense of abandon, capturing the spontaneous beauty of nature. Beneath the tree, the ground is a carpet of vibrant yellow and green, with touches of blue suggesting shadows as the sun dips lower in the sky. The heavy application of paint here creates a sense of the grass being almost alive, moving with the gentle evening breeze. To the left, a small white house with a brown roof nestles within the landscape, its windows catching the last light and glowing warmly, suggesting life and homeliness amidst the vastness of the natural world. In the foreground, a figure walks through the meadow, portrayed in white with touches of color reflecting the surrounding environment. The figure's movement and placement lead the viewer's eye through the scene, adding a human element and scale to the painting. The sky above transitions from a creamy light at the horizon to deeper purples and blues of the approaching night, streaked with wisps of pink and yellow clouds reflecting the setting sun's final display. "Warm Evening" captures not just the visual spectacle of a summer's evening but also the feeling it evokes—a sense of warmth, tranquility, and the gentle passage from day to night. It invites the viewer to linger in the moment, to feel the warmth on their skin, and to appreciate the day's last moments of light.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Warm evening"* ARTISTS: Alex Kalenyuk* SIZE: 40x50 cm/'15.74x19.68 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.
