Title: Oil painting Flower fields Ivan Kovalenko

Description: NoKoval 239The Oil painting on Cardboard titled "Flower Field" radiates a sense of freedom, harmony, and connection to nature, immersing the viewer in the untouched beauty of a summer meadow. This landscape is rendered with broad, expressive brushstrokes and a delicate sense of rhythm, as though the artist captured not just a place, but the very breath of the wind passing through the field. Dominated by wild grasses and blossoms that stretch toward the viewer, the foreground is alive with motion and light, while the soft, rolling hills and trees in the background gently frame the composition in calm green tones. The artist's palette is rich and vibrant, yet never overwhelming. Layers of golden yellows, soft whites, gentle pinks, and muted purples are interwoven among the tall green grasses, evoking the wild abundance of a natural meadow untouched by human hands. Daisies, clovers, and other wildflowers appear in informal clusters, their forms not precisely defined, but suggested through strokes and patches of luminous color. This impressionistic approach gives the painting an air of spontaneity, as though it were painted en plein air ? on location, under the open sky, in a single joyful session. In the middle distance, the brush becomes looser and the outlines of the trees blur, as if swaying gently in the summer breeze. These trees ? with their slender trunks and leafy canopies ? anchor the composition, while the soft blue of the sky opens the space and lends it an almost infinite quality. Wispy clouds streak the sky with warm touches of pink and lavender, blending seamlessly with the light that bathes the field and gently reflects off every leaf and petal. The atmosphere is airy and weightless, filled with the scent of flowers and the hum of insects that seem to buzz just beyond the frame.This work reminds us of the simple pleasures: the way the wind stirs the grass, the joy of discovering unexpected flowers among the weeds, the feeling of sunlight warming the skin. It's an invitation to pause, to breathe, and to reconnect with a part of ourselves that longs for the quiet wisdom of the land. "Flower Field" is not just a landscape; it is an ode to nature's generosity and its power to restore the soul.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING ***
