Title: Oil painting Boat on the shore Yuriy Suprunchuk Description: No.AAA5683The Oil painting Cardboard titled “Boat on the shore” transports the viewer into a serene rural setting where everyday simplicity transforms into poetic beauty. The composition is centered on a modest wooden boat resting by the water’s edge, its quiet presence suggesting both utility and tranquility. The artist employs expressive brushstrokes and a harmonious palette to create an atmosphere that is both grounded in reality and evocative of nostalgia. This work captures not just a moment in time but the rhythm of rural life, the bond between people and nature, and the silent poetry of a place untouched by haste. In the foreground, the boat dominates the viewer’s attention. Painted with earthy tones of brown, maroon, and muted red, its sturdy form rests partly in the water, partly on the shore. The brushwork emphasizes the texture of the wood, suggesting years of use and the countless journeys it may have taken across calm waters. The water itself, rendered in strokes of green, blue, and reflective highlights, mirrors both the hull of the boat and the lush vegetation surrounding it. Lily pads and grasses enhance the sense of stillness, making the viewer feel as though the surface of the water has been frozen in a moment of peaceful clarity. The middle ground shifts attention to the path leading from the water toward a charming thatched-roof cottage. The cottage, with its whitewashed walls and rustic roof, is nestled among thick greenery, embodying the essence of countryside living. Brightly colored flowers line its side, adding bursts of yellow, red, and orange that contrast beautifully with the earthy tones of the thatch. Hanging clothes flutter on a line, their whites and colors enlivening the composition. This small detail breathes life into the painting, suggesting the presence of inhabitants engaged in daily routines. It reminds us that while the boat and the water hint at timeless continuity, the laundry tells of everyday work, resilience, and family life. A figure appears in the background, tending to the clothesline. Though painted with impressionistic looseness, this person adds warmth and humanity to the scene, making it more than a mere landscape. The figure stands as a symbol of domesticity, of lives shaped by simplicity, nature, and self-sufficiency. Their presence deepens the viewer’s sense of connection to the place, evoking the timeless cycle of chores, seasons, and quiet moments of rest.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Boat on the shore"* ARTIST: Yuriy Suprunchuk* SIZE: 40x30 cm/15.74x11.81 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.
