Title: Oil painting Evening boat ride and ringing of bells Oksana Ivanyuk Description: №AAA5829 The oil painting Canvas titled "Evening boat ride and ringing of bells" immerses the viewer in an enchanting autumnal scene, where the serenity of nature merges seamlessly with the echoes of human presence. The artist employs bold impasto strokes and a rich, vibrant palette to create a composition that is both atmospheric and deeply emotive, evoking the golden hour of a crisp evening when the light softens, shadows lengthen, and sound carries gently across the water. At the forefront of The painting, the tranquil river glimmers under a palette of cool blues, earthy browns, and flickers of reflected gold. The brushwork is thick and dynamic, suggesting rippling movement in the water, as though the river itself breathes with the rhythm of twilight. Nestled within this shimmering expanse floats a small boat, rendered in vivid strokes of orange, green, and yellow. A lone figure occupies it, their posture calm and meditative, as if carried not only by the water but also by the moment itself. The boat is both a literal vessel and a metaphorical one, transporting the viewer into the heart of the scene’s poetic atmosphere. The background is alive with the colors of autumn, as towering trees painted in rich tones of ochre, crimson, deep green, and amber stand majestically along the riverbank. Their dense foliage is textured with heavy layers of paint, each stroke capturing the energy of rustling leaves stirred by a cool evening breeze. Interspersed among the trees are flashes of golden light, suggesting the sun’s final rays breaking through, casting a gentle glow across the landscape. This play of light and shadow heightens the sense of depth, pulling the viewer’s gaze from the water toward the treetops and the sky above. Dominating the upper right section of the canvas is a striking white church, its spires and golden domes rising gracefully above the forest canopy. The building appears both grounded in the village and elevated in spiritual significance, bathed in soft evening light. It is here that the title finds its resonance—the imagined sound of bells ringing across the water fills the viewer’s senses, blending with the quiet splash of oars. The bells are not painted, but their presence is palpable, evoked through the rhythm of brushstrokes and the ethereal glow surrounding the church. They imbue The painting with an aura of reverence, linking the tranquility of the natural world with the spiritual heartbeat of the community.
