Title: Oil painting Near the house a life of its own Oksana Kalenyuk

Description: NoAAA5106 The oil painting on Cardboard titled "Near the House - a Life of Its Own" encapsulates a vibrant, lived-in world bursting with rural character and quiet intimacy. Rendered in bold impasto strokes and an electrifying palette, the composition evokes a familiar scene: a humble countryside home, partially shielded by trees and nestled into its garden, where even the smallest corner seems to pulse with independent energy and memory. At the center of the canvas stands a modest one-story house with a bright red gabled roof that immediately draws the eye. The roof is thickly painted, its texture layered and rough, reinforcing the solid, enduring presence of the home. Beneath it, the fa?ade is a patchwork of soft whites, lavenders, and cool shadows that suggest the wear of time and the embrace of the seasons. The thick blue outlines of the windows and the golden hue of the front door add individuality, as if the house itself has a soul and mood formed by decades of life within. The dwelling does not dominate The painting like an empty shell, but rather appears as part of a larger, organic system. To the foreground, boldly colored bee boxes in hues of vivid orange, yellow, and two tones of blue stand like cheerful sentinels near the entrance of the home. Their placement is not accidental-they symbolize a separate rhythm of life, one that hums and stirs regardless of the comings and goings of the household. These boxes, full of honey and labor, speak to a symbiosis between people and nature, a shared breath between the built and the wild. The garden, depicted in electric greens and dense strokes of earth brown and black, is neither meticulously kept nor overgrown-it simply is. Here lies a space of continual regeneration and use, a plot where stories have taken root as deeply as any plant. The soil is dark and rich, and each dab of the brush suggests footprints, plantings, labors repeated over countless seasons. Life here feels cyclical and patient, shaped by invisible hands and remembered footsteps.
