Title: Oil painting Horses by the river Yuriy Suprunchuk Description: NoAAA5482The Oil painting on Cardboard titled "Horses by the River" captures a tranquil yet vivid pastoral scene, where the beauty of nature and the calm rhythm of rural life meet in a symphony of colors and brushstrokes. At first glance, the viewer is drawn into a wide expanse of countryside dominated by lush greenery, sparkling reflections of water, and the serene presence of horses grazing near the river's edge. The composition carries both intimacy and grandeur, combining close details with a sweeping sense of landscape that seems to stretch endlessly beneath the vast sky. In the foreground, tall slender trees stand proudly, their trunks painted in earthy tones of red-brown and their foliage in rich, layered greens. The branches stretch upward, dividing the canvas vertically while simultaneously framing the broader view beyond. These trees act as sentinels, their height and verticality emphasizing the openness of the plains behind them. At their roots, dappled green vegetation intermingles with earthy shades, suggesting wild grass and undergrowth thriving along the riverbanks. The brushwork here is energetic and thick, with bold strokes of paint that bring out the texture of the natural environment. Beyond this leafy frame, the landscape opens toward a calm river that winds its way through the meadow, its waters painted in cool shades of aquamarine, turquoise, and soft blues that reflect the sky above. The river is not turbulent but calm, its surface interrupted only by the grazing horses standing near its edge. These animals, painted in earthy browns and deeper shades, embody the peaceful harmony between living creatures and their environment. Their postures-heads bent to graze or drink-communicate a sense of complete tranquility, as if time itself has slowed in their quiet presence. The horses serve as both focal points and symbols of rustic simplicity, grounding the landscape in a lived reality. The middle ground bursts with color and light. Rolling meadows stretch across the horizon, painted in shades of vivid greens, golden yellows, and ochres that suggest fields bathed in summer sunlight. Trees cluster at intervals, their foliage created with swift, textured strokes that give the impression of density without overburdening the scene with detail. This play of open space and dense clusters conveys a natural rhythm, mirroring the flow of the river that weaves its way through the land.
