Title: Oil painting Autumn dahlias Oksana Ivanyuk

Description: No. Kalen 1605

The oil painting on Canvas titled "Autumn Dahlias" is a vibrant celebration of seasonal bloom, capturing a fleeting yet abundant moment when nature releases its last burst of color before retreating into winter’s slumber. With expressive brushstrokes and a masterful play of light and tone, the composition draws the viewer into a quiet, contemplative world of flowers arranged with loving spontaneity. The dahlias, full and lush, overflow from a simple green glass vase, exuding warmth, fragility, and understated elegance. Each flower is uniquely rendered with thick, textured applications of oil paint that give the petals both volume and vitality. Shades of soft apricot, coral, and dusty rose blend with creamy whites and lemony yellows, creating a rich, layered spectrum that evokes the mellow glow of autumn sunlight. These hues, though warm, are carefully balanced by the cool, neutral background—a muted, slightly bluish gray wall that enhances the floral vibrancy while grounding the scene in a calm, introspective atmosphere. The green glass vase is not merely a container but a central visual anchor. Its translucent surface reflects subtle traces of the surrounding colors—deep greens, dark reds, hints of shadowy blues—infusing the lower part of the composition with depth and weight. The tabletop beneath it, painted in broad, confident strokes, is colored with streaks of crimson and violet, subtly echoing the palette of the flowers and suggesting the presence of reflected light, perhaps from a nearby window or late afternoon sun. One of the most engaging elements of this piece is the movement suggested within the arrangement. The flowers are not stiffly placed; instead, they arc outward and upward, as though still alive, reaching for light. Some blooms lean gently to one side, others stand upright in full bloom, while a few petals fall or droop delicately—symbolizing both fullness of life and the beginning of its gentle fade. The painting masterfully captures this moment of transition, where life is vibrant yet ephemeral, echoing the cycle of nature and time.
