Title: Oil painting Fishing in the summer Alex Kalenyuk

Description: №AAA4750 The oil painting on cardboard titled "Fishing in the Summer" vividly captures a peaceful and idyllic moment by the river, where nature and human presence merge into a harmonious scene. Using a rich impasto technique, the artist creates a textured, lively composition filled with movement and light, immersing the viewer in the tranquility of a warm summer day. At the center of The painting, a fisherman sits in a small blue boat, gently floating on the calm river waters. His figure, though painted with loose and expressive strokes, conveys a sense of relaxation and quiet focus. Dressed in light-colored clothing and wearing a wide-brimmed hat, he seems lost in the timeless rhythm of fishing, undisturbed by the world around him. The boat's reflection shimmers on the water’s surface, adding depth and a sense of realism to the composition. The surrounding landscape is a lush tapestry of colors and textures. Tall, slender trees stand along the riverbank, their branches reaching skyward while their leaves cast cool shadows below. The foliage is depicted with a dynamic mix of greens, blues, and hints of warm reds and oranges, suggesting the dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves. The use of thick, bold strokes enhances the three-dimensional quality of the trees, making them feel alive and swaying in the gentle breeze. Beyond the trees, nestled on a small hill, are white cottages with striking red roofs. Their presence adds a charming, rural touch to The painting, reinforcing the sense of a peaceful, countryside retreat. The roofs, painted in vibrant orange and red hues, contrast beautifully against the greenery, drawing the viewer’s eye and creating a focal point in the background. The cottages suggest a human presence beyond the fisherman, hinting at a village where simple, quiet life unfolds away from the rush of modernity. The river itself is a mesmerizing blend of greens, blues, and earthy tones, reflecting the surrounding trees and sky. The artist's use of bold, expressive brushstrokes conveys the movement of the water, capturing its gentle ripples as they catch the sunlight. The riverbank is adorned with grasses and wildflowers, adding texture and a sense of untamed beauty to the scene. Above, the sky is a soft, pastel mixture of blues and purples, with delicate, wispy clouds drifting lazily. The subtle gradations of color suggest the warmth of a summer afternoon, with the sun casting a golden glow over the entire landscape.
