This oil painting cardboard, titled "Evening freshness by the river", the artist employs an expressive impasto technique, using thick layers of oil paint to create depth and movement, making the entire composition feel alive with warmth and tranquility. The focal point of the painting is a wooden pier extending over the calm river, where two figures are seated, seemingly lost in thought as they enjoy the evening breeze. Their presence brings a sense of life and contemplation to the piece, emphasizing the simple joys of nature and human connection. The artist renders them with loose, impressionistic strokes, allowing them to blend harmoniously into the landscape while still standing out against the backdrop. The river, painted in deep browns, warm oranges, and subtle blues, reflects the sky and the surrounding trees, creating a mesmerizing mirror effect. The textured brushstrokes give the impression of gentle ripples on the water's surface, adding a dynamic quality to the otherwise still scene. The reflections of the wooden pier and figures are subtly incorporated, enhancing the realism and depth of the composition. In the background, the lush riverside landscape is filled with trees and foliage bathed in the warm hues of the setting sun. The golden tones of the trees contrast beautifully with the cool blues of the sky, creating a striking interplay of warm and cool colors. The trees are depicted with bold, energetic strokes, capturing the last light of the day as it filters through the leaves and branches. A few houses with red roofs peek through the trees in the distance, adding a sense of rural charm and warmth to the scene. Their placement suggests a quiet village nearby, reinforcing the painting's theme of peaceful evening leisure. The red roofs stand out against the softer, earthy tones of the trees, drawing the viewer's eye toward the horizon. The sky is a brilliant expanse of blue with soft, billowing clouds, painted with thick, swirling strokes that suggest the movement of the evening breeze. The contrast between the cool sky and the warm landscape below enhances the painting's sense of depth and atmosphere. The presence of clouds hints at the shifting light, as the day slowly transitions into night.
