Title: Oil painting Hay harvest in autumn Alex Kalenyuk

Description: №AAA4000 This oil painting cardboard, titled "Hay harvest in autumn", the artist employs a thick impasto technique, layering bold strokes of paint to create depth, movement, and texture, immersing the viewer in the golden glow of a vast autumn field. The foreground is dominated by clusters of haystacks, painted in fiery shades of yellow, orange, and red. The thick application of paint gives them a tangible, almost sculptural presence, making them appear sunlit and textured. The artist’s dynamic brushstrokes convey the energy of the harvested land, with scattered hay and rough terrain suggesting recent activity in the field. A small stream or irrigation channel winds through the landscape, its cool blue tones providing a striking contrast to the dominant warm hues. The stream carves through the golden land, creating a natural flow that guides the viewer’s eye deeper into The painting. In the middle ground, the field extends toward the horizon, where additional haystacks and structures suggest a bustling rural scene. The warm earthy tones continue, blending harmoniously with hints of ochre and sienna, depicting the freshly tilled soil and the remnants of harvested crops. The artist’s loose, energetic strokes give the impression of an expansive landscape, filled with the scent of dry grass and the crisp air of autumn. The background features a distant village or farmstead, with small, simple buildings painted in muted whites and warm browns. Thin, vertical poles, possibly marking drying areas for hay or fences, add structure to the composition. The presence of a sailboat near the horizon introduces an unexpected but harmonious element, reinforcing the idea of a community connected to both land and water. Above, the sky is a striking mix of blues, greens, and deep purples, with swirling clouds that appear to shift and drift. The artist captures the fleeting nature of autumn skies, where the warmth of the sun meets the cool winds of the changing season. The contrast between the glowing golden fields and the moody, atmospheric sky enhances the drama and depth of the piece. The overall mood of The painting is warm, dynamic, and celebratory, reflecting the hardworking spirit of the harvest season. The artist’s masterful use of color, texture, and movement brings the rural landscape to life, allowing the viewer to feel the warmth of the sun, the rustle of dried grass, and the vastness of the countryside.
