Title: Oil painting The ice was binding Oksana Kalenyuk

Description: NoAAA3220

This oil painting captures a quintessential winter scene, rich in texture and color, evoking the crisp atmosphere of a day spent outdoors in the cold. The artist has used thick, impasto strokes to give life to the landscape, emphasizing the tactile quality of the trees and the icy ground. In the foreground, a cluster of barren trees stands tall, their trunks and branches rendered in a variety of earthy tones-sienna, umber, and hints of olive green-contrasting against the cool grays and whites of the background. The trees' limbs stretch skyward, some adorned with touches of crimson and azure, suggesting the presence of birds or the remnants of autumn leaves. The middle ground is dominated by a frozen pond or lake, the "ice that was binding," a smooth expanse of muted lavender, blue, and gray, indicating the chill of the ice. On the ice, small figures in vibrant winter clothing-a pop of red, blue, and green against the monochrome-suggest children at play, perhaps skating or simply enjoying the wintry day. Beyond the pond, the background softens into a haze of cool whites and grays, with subtle hints of distant trees and perhaps a suggestion of a hill or a rise in the terrain. The sky is a tapestry of soft, wintry light, with gentle brushstrokes of white and pale blue conveying a serene and chilly winter sky. The painting is a testament to the joy and beauty of winter, despite its cold grasp. It invites the viewer to reminisce about the simple pleasures of a winter day, the laughter of children echoing across the ice, and the stillness of nature in repose.
