Title: Acrylic painting Bridge over the river Mykhailo Patskan Description: №AAA4935 The acrylic painting on cardboard titled "Bridge over the River" is a vibrant and atmospheric exploration of nature’s serenity and the quiet presence of human touch within it. With expressive brushwork and a rich, earthy palette, the artist captures a fleeting yet deeply immersive moment—a bridge suspended in the stillness of a forest, arching gracefully over a lively, flowing river. The scene feels at once timeless and personal, inviting the viewer to step into its calm and reflective mood. The bridge itself is rendered with delicate lines and subtle highlights of lavender and pale cream, suggesting the way sunlight grazes its surface through the tree canopy. It is a modest structure—perhaps made of wood and weathered by seasons—appearing fragile yet dependable. Its slight curvature and positioning across the composition draw the eye inward, acting as both a visual connector and a symbolic threshold. The bridge is not only a crossing over water but also a passage between two worlds—light and shadow, stillness and motion, solitude and journey. Beneath the bridge, the river sparkles with energy. The artist’s brush captures the dynamic movement of water in crisp whites, deep blues, and hints of violet, which reflect the surrounding foliage and sky. Swirling currents and patches of light break across the surface, bringing life and rhythm to the lower portion of the composition. The water seems to dance over smooth stones and tumble gently past mossy banks, its motion contrasting with the solid, grounded nature of the bridge above. The forest, dense and colorful, serves as both the backdrop and guardian of the scene. Golden yellows, olive greens, and warm russets intermingle among the trees, creating a rich tapestry of fall foliage. These tones suggest The painting is set in early autumn—a season of transformation, where light softens and the earth prepares for rest. The trees to the left are layered with deeper greens, casting shadows that add depth and mystery, while those to the right are more open and bright, catching the sun’s final glimmers. There is a sense of dappled light filtering through the canopy, adding an almost magical quality to the entire view.
