Title: Oil painting Returning from the field in the evening Alex Kalenyuk

Description: NoAAA4090 This oil painting cardboard, titled "Returning from the field in the evening", the scene is dominated by large, golden haystacks that seem to radiate with the fading light, their rich texture and layered colors emphasizing the essence of a long day's labor. The artist uses thick, impasto brushstrokes to create depth and dimension in the composition. The haystacks, painted in brilliant shades of yellow, gold, and orange, stand prominently in the foreground, their rough and uneven forms suggesting the remnants of a day spent gathering the harvest. Their color is intensified by the interplay of warm and cool tones, where strokes of blue and purple create the impression of shadows stretching across the field. Encircling the haystacks, patches of deep green and earthy brown suggest the lush grass and natural landscape that define the countryside. The scattered, lively strokes of blue add vibrancy to the field, conveying the freshness of the evening air. Behind the haystacks, towering trees painted in a mix of deep red, brown, and green create a dramatic backdrop. Their leaves seem to catch the final glimmers of sunlight, reflecting the changing hues of the sky as dusk sets in. In the background, a small house with a thatched roof emerges from the landscape, partially hidden by the dense foliage. It adds a sense of human presence and rural simplicity, nestled among the trees as a haven of warmth and rest after a long day in the fields. The roof of the house, painted in soft, muted tones, contrasts with the fiery hues of the haystacks and the surrounding vegetation. Above, the sky is a fusion of soft lavender and dusky blue, dotted with warm pink clouds drifting across the horizon. These colors, applied in broad and fluid strokes, evoke the fading light of the setting sun, casting a peaceful glow over the entire scene. The play of light and shadow, combined with the dynamic texture of the paint, gives The painting a sense of movement and atmosphere, making the viewer feel as if they are witnessing the gentle transition from day to night.
