Title: Oil painting Alley in the village Alex Kalenyuk

Description: NoAAA3828This oil painting cardboard, titled "Alley in the village", the composition is balanced and inviting, drawing the viewer's eye into the heart of the village alley. A winding dirt path leads through the foreground, where a figure dressed in a red and black coat walks among a small flock of white geese. The path is uneven and natural, painted with earthy browns, ochres, and hints of green, suggesting recent rainfall or the well-trodden nature of this rustic passage. In the middle ground, a wooden fence painted in cool green tones separates the foreground from the village houses. These simple, traditional cottages feature thatched roofs and warmly lit windows, hinting at a cozy and inviting atmosphere within. The architecture is modest yet full of character, embodying the simplicity and authenticity of rural life. The background is dominated by tall trees with rough, expressive brushstrokes depicting their twisting branches and dense foliage. The sky, painted in muted lilacs, blues, and soft yellows, suggests an overcast yet tranquil moment, possibly in the late afternoon or early morning. The artist employs a harmonious mix of warm and cool tones, creating contrast and depth. The earthy browns and greens of the landscape blend beautifully with the cool purples and blues of the sky and shadows. The bright white of the geese stands out sharply, drawing attention to the focal point of the composition-the interaction between the figure and the animals. Light in this painting is soft and diffused, with subtle highlights suggesting an overcast day with glimpses of sunlight filtering through the clouds and tree branches. This gentle illumination enhances the painting's peaceful and nostalgic mood. The presence of geese adds a dynamic element, their white forms contrasting against the earthy surroundings and bringing life and movement to the composition. Their presence symbolizes domesticity, tradition, and the timeless charm of village life. The painting evokes nostalgia for a simpler time, a place where nature and daily human activities intertwine effortlessly. Whether viewed as a memory of a rural childhood or an invitation to escape into a peaceful countryside, the artwork resonates with warmth and familiarity.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING ***
