Title: Oil painting Ducks are swimming along the river Oksana Kalenyuk Description: NoAAA4724 The oil painting on cardboard titled "Ducks Are Swimming Along the River" captures the tranquil beauty of rural life, blending elements of nature, wildlife, and human presence in a harmonious composition. The artist employs thick, expressive brushstrokes to create a textured, almost sculptural surface, giving the piece a dynamic and lively character. The painting is filled with vibrant colors, each hue carefully chosen to reflect the warmth of the countryside and the serenity of a river meandering through a sunlit village. In the foreground, the river flows gently, reflecting the lush greenery and the blue sky above. The water is depicted with deep, rich tones of brown, green, and violet, suggesting the movement of the current and the play of light on its rippling surface. The ducks, painted in bright whites with subtle hints of gray and blue, glide effortlessly along the water, their reflections shimmering beneath them. Small touches of red on their heads add a lively accent, emphasizing their presence and drawing the viewer's eye toward them. The middle ground is a vibrant stretch of grassy banks where wildflowers bloom in a medley of yellows, purples, and greens. The artist's bold, thick strokes capture the untamed beauty of nature, while the winding path leads the viewer's gaze toward the village beyond. Near the water's edge, a group of people in colorful clothing are engaged in quiet conversation or daily chores, adding a human touch to the idyllic setting. Their presence provides a sense of warmth and connection, illustrating the timeless bond between people and nature. The background features a picturesque village with traditional houses nestled beneath towering trees. The rooftops, painted in soft earthy tones with hints of blue and red, contrast against the bright green foliage and the crisp blue sky. The artist's expressive style gives the impression of dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves, casting warm golden hues across the landscape. The trees, with their thick, twisting trunks and vibrant leaves, form a protective canopy over the village, reinforcing the peaceful, sheltered atmosphere. Above it all, the sky is a brilliant expanse of blue, punctuated by soft clouds in shades of white and lavender. The artist's brushwork here is looser and more fluid, suggesting the gentle movement of the wind as it rustles the trees and carries the scent of fresh earth and blooming flowers.
