Title: Oil painting Mushroom season Boris Serdyuk Description: №AAA5319 The oil painting on Cardboard titled "Mushroom season" captures a vibrant autumnal forest at the height of its richness and transformation. Through confident, thick brushstrokes and a dynamic palette, the artist invites the viewer into a sensory experience of nature—one brimming with earthy scent, crisp air, and the quiet thrill of foraging. A winding path runs from the foreground to the center of the composition, guiding the viewer’s eye into the depth of the forest. The path, painted in swirling, textured layers of beige, ochre, and muted terracotta, seems recently walked upon. It is uneven and natural, curving gently between banks of green and russet foliage. At the vanishing point stands a solitary figure, painted in silhouette. This figure is small and distant, adding a sense of scale and anchoring the scene with a narrative: someone is deep in the forest, perhaps searching for mushrooms, lost in their thoughts or the task at hand. On either side of the path, the forest bursts into color. The left side is dense with deep burgundy, violet, and green shades—an expressive play of shadow and undergrowth, where the forest floor likely hides an abundance of mushrooms. The vegetation here is rendered in a tangle of brushwork, suggesting complexity and concealment, much like the thrill of finding edible mushrooms among layers of fallen leaves and damp soil. To the right, golden-yellow trees stand tall and bright, their foliage catching the last of the sun’s warmth. The leaves glow in contrast to the deeper tones elsewhere, suggesting either early morning light or the golden hour before sunset. The artist uses impasto techniques here to emphasize texture—the light seems almost tactile, dancing across the surface of the leaves. The background transitions into cooler tones of misty blue and pale lavender, signaling distance and perhaps the chill of the changing season. Tall pines and shadowy trunks frame the top of the composition, pushing the viewer’s perspective downward and inward, reinforcing the intimate, enveloping nature of the forest. These trees are dark and somewhat foreboding, but they also provide shelter and focus, narrowing the world to what lies immediately ahead.
