Title: Oil painting The moon illuminates the field Alex Kalenyuk

Description: NoAAA4076This oil painting cardboard, titled "The moon illuminates the field", at the center of the composition, three haystacks stand tall in a vast, open field, bathed in the ethereal glow of a full moon. The thick, textured brushstrokes used in this oil painting bring out the intensity of the scene, creating a palpable sense of depth and movement. The three haystacks, painted with vibrant yellow and orange hues, dominate the center of the piece. Each haystack is carefully rendered with layers of paint, creating a rich, tactile surface that mimics the texture of gathered hay. Their rounded shapes and bright colors stand out starkly against the darker surrounding landscape, drawing the viewer's eye to their presence. The strong contrasts between the bright hay and the darker surroundings create a focal point that commands attention. The moon, a luminous orb painted in a soft, almost otherworldly yellow, is placed high above the scene, casting its gentle light across the field. This light creates an atmospheric glow that softens the harsh edges of the haystacks, imbuing them with an almost surreal radiance. The moon's light also reflects off the ground, highlighting the grasses and foliage in the field, giving them a cool, muted sheen. This contrast between the warm, golden haystacks and the cool, shadowy tones of the field evokes a sense of quiet harmony. The surrounding field is painted in a mix of cool blues and purples, with soft greens that suggest the land's natural vitality. These cool colors, used in sweeping strokes, contrast with the warmth of the hay, creating a calm and peaceful ambiance. The painter's use of texture enhances this sense of tranquility, with the thick application of paint on the sky and grass adding a sense of movement, as if the night itself is alive with subtle motion. The sky above the haystacks is painted in deep purples and blues, punctuated by the soft light of the moon. The artist's choice to depict the sky in these cool tones emphasizes the stillness of the night, while the moon, glowing brightly, adds a touch of mysticism and majesty. The moon's light flows gently over the landscape, casting long, soft shadows across the ground and enhancing the peaceful atmosphere of the scene. The haystacks, sturdy and enduring, seem to rest peacefully under the watchful eye of the moon, while the surrounding landscape, bathed in its glow, remains still and undisturbed. The vivid contrasts between light and shadow, warmth and coolness, create a striking and harmonious composition that speaks to the quiet beauty of rural life at night.
