Title: Acrylic painting Summer forest lake Mykhailo Patskan Description: №AAA4942 The acrylic painting on cardboard titled "Summer Forest Lake" offers a vivid and immersive representation of nature at its most serene and vibrant. This artwork captures a moment of pure stillness, where the forest meets the water, and both seem to merge into one continuous reflection of light, form, and color. The scene evokes a peaceful summer day, the kind where time slows down and the only sound is the gentle rustle of leaves and the subtle lapping of water at the lake’s edge. The central focus of the composition is a densely wooded shoreline, dominated by tall evergreen trees bathed in dappled sunlight. Painted with bold, expressive strokes, the trees are rendered in shades of deep forest green, lemon yellow, and touches of cool blue and brown, creating an intricate pattern of foliage and shadow. The sunlight filters through the treetops, creating glimmers of light that dance across their trunks and needles, suggesting a late afternoon glow that softens every edge. Behind the trees, a deeper shade of cobalt blue envelops the background, likely representing the cool shadowed slopes of a distant hill or the dense thickets further into the forest. This choice of color contrasts beautifully with the warm highlights on the trees, emphasizing the vibrancy of the summer light while adding a sense of depth and layering to the scene. The lake itself, occupying the lower portion of the canvas, acts as both mirror and anchor. Its surface is rendered in varying hues of turquoise, emerald, and midnight blue, interspersed with delicate patches of white and green reflections. The water perfectly mirrors the vertical forms of the trees above it, with the reflections slightly blurred and fragmented to convey the gentle ripple of the lake’s surface. This interplay of clarity and distortion adds dynamism and movement to an otherwise still composition. The artist’s use of acrylic paint is masterful, with a mix of thick and thin applications giving The painting both texture and translucency. The cardboard surface subtly enhances the rawness of the brushwork, allowing the viewer to sense the hand of the painter in each stroke. The impasto in the highlights of the trees and shoreline contrasts beautifully with the smoother, glazed appearance of the lake’s surface, creating a tactile experience that invites close observation.
