Title: Oil painting Edge of the village Oksana Ivanyuk Description: No.AAA5586The Oil painting Canvas titled “Edge of the village” captures a vivid and emotional portrayal of rural life, set against the backdrop of a glowing evening sky. The composition is drenched in expressive color, energetic brushstrokes, and layers of texture that evoke the warmth, intimacy, and timeless charm of a small countryside settlement. It is a painting that speaks equally of place and spirit, where nature and human presence blend seamlessly into one living, breathing whole. The foreground immediately draws the viewer in with its lush fields painted in bold strokes of green and yellow, flecked with earthy browns and pinks that suggest pathways winding through the grass. These paths are not perfectly straight or uniform; instead, they meander with a natural irregularity, symbolizing the organic rhythm of rural life. The artist’s technique captures not only the visual form of the land but also its tactile sensation—the feel of uneven ground beneath one’s feet, softened by grass and warmed by the sun. This living texture sets the stage for the human presence that follows. Figures appear within this green expanse, brought to life by bold touches of color rather than fine detail. One figure is dressed in a bright yellow garment, another in deep blue, and another in rich red, their forms animated as they move together along the village edge. They appear to be walking leisurely, perhaps returning home or simply enjoying the calm of evening. Their placement within the scene is deliberate—they do not dominate but instead merge harmoniously with the environment, reinforcing the theme of community and the close bond between people and their land. The choice of vibrant clothing colors adds a note of warmth and humanity against the cooler tones of the landscape. The middle ground introduces the village itself, a collection of rustic houses with red-tiled roofs and pale facades, rendered with bold, impressionistic strokes. The cottages are modest yet inviting, standing as symbols of security, heritage, and tradition. Their placement against a backdrop of trees and open sky highlights the balance between shelter and the vastness of the natural world. Power poles, painted in long vertical strokes of brown and black, rise among the greenery, subtly anchoring the rural setting in a contemporary time while also emphasizing the timeless continuity of human settlement in such places.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Edge of the village"* ARTIST: Oksana Ivanyuk* 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: Ivanyuk Oksana was born in 1964 in Rivne region.
