Title: Oil painting Trees near the pond Boris Serdyuk Description: №AAA5754 The oil painting Cardboard titled "Trees near the pond" draws the viewer into a peaceful yet vibrant natural scene, where water, light, and foliage meet in harmonious balance. Through bold impasto strokes and a palette rich with greens, yellows, purples, and blues, the artist captures not only the appearance of the landscape but also its atmosphere—a living, breathing environment filled with movement, light, and stillness at once. It is a moment suspended in time, a glimpse of nature’s beauty at the edge of a quiet pond. The composition leads the eye from the reflective surface of the water in the foreground to the dense growth of trees in the background, where light filters through the branches and creates a natural focal point. At the bottom of the canvas, the pond occupies a large portion of the scene. Its surface is painted with deep, earthy greens, golden yellows, and muted blues, showing the mixture of floating vegetation and water reflections. The heavy application of paint gives texture to the water, suggesting patches of lily pads, algae, or floating leaves. The reflective qualities of the pond are conveyed with darker tones of green and brown mixed with glimmers of blue, hinting at the sky above mirrored on the water’s surface. The middle ground is dominated by an explosion of greens in varying shades—emerald, olive, lime, and deep forest tones. The artist builds the foliage with thick, overlapping strokes, giving each tree and bush a distinct, tactile presence. Sunlight breaks through from the right-hand side, illuminating patches of bright green and yellow foliage, making them appear almost to glow against the darker background of dense trees. The light is strongest near the center of The painting, guiding the eye toward the sunlit clearing and the warm horizon beyond. This glowing passage suggests the transition from afternoon into early evening, as the warm lavender and peach tones of the sky softly merge with the dense greenery. The background rises in a cluster of towering trees, painted with strong, angular knife strokes that layer dark greens, browns, and nearly black shadows. Their density creates a natural barrier that contrasts with the opening sky in the distance. The artist uses bold strokes of purple and muted pink above the trees to render the sky, its subtle pastels softening the intensity of the greenery and adding depth to the scene. The brushwork here is looser, suggesting fleeting clouds that drift with the evening light.
