Title: Oil painting Cows on a walk Oleksiy Ivanyuk Description: No.AAA5816The Oil painting Canvas titled "Cows on a walk" depicts a vibrant and pastoral scene that beautifully encapsulates the harmony between rural life, nature, and animals. At first glance, the composition immediately radiates warmth and comfort, presenting a charming village where houses, meadows, and cattle blend into a single living organism. The artist uses a palette dominated by earthy tones of green, brown, and ochre, interspersed with bold strokes of turquoise, pink, and crimson, giving the work a distinctive energy and emotional resonance. In the foreground, a group of cows grazes leisurely in a sunlit field, painted in deep tones of black, brown, and white. Their rounded, sturdy forms stand out vividly against the lush green of the grass, emphasizing their role as central figures in the daily rhythm of village life. The thick, textured brushstrokes lend weight and substance to the animals, making them feel almost tangible. These cows are not just symbols of agriculture; they embody the calm, unhurried pace of life in the countryside, where nature provides sustenance and rhythm. Behind the cattle, the viewer’s gaze is drawn to the rustic charm of the village houses. Painted in shades of turquoise and white, with roofs highlighted in pinks and warm reds, the homes radiate a sense of coziness and durability. The contrast between the earthy tones of the meadow and the bright, almost whimsical colors of the houses creates a sense of balance—showing that even in simplicity, beauty and vibrancy thrive. The thick impasto technique used for the rooftops gives them depth and texture, as though they have weathered countless seasons and stand as quiet witnesses to the lives unfolding around them. The trees rising behind the houses add another layer of energy to the painting. Their crowns, executed in fiery strokes of brown, orange, and red, suggest the turning of the seasons, possibly late summer or early autumn. These fiery accents create a striking contrast with the turquoise and green tones of the meadow and houses, evoking both warmth and vitality. The sky, though only partially visible, adds to the atmosphere of the piece with strokes of muted blues and light yellows, enhancing the feeling of a gentle, fading day.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Cows on a walk"* ARTIST: Oleksiy 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: Born March 13, 1954, in the city of Piryatin, Poltava region.
