Title: Oil painting Village boats on a ferry Yuriy Suprunchuk Description: NoAAA5774The Oil painting Cardboard titled "Village boats on a ferry" portrays a vivid and picturesque scene where rural charm meets the timeless rhythm of life by the river. The composition is dominated by a calm body of water in the foreground, where boats float gently, their reflections shimmering across the rippling surface. Painted with expressive brushstrokes and bold contrasts, the river becomes more than just a background-it is a central element of the story, serving as a pathway of connection, trade, and everyday livelihood for the villagers. The ferry, modest yet practical, symbolizes not just transportation but a cultural lifeline in the heart of a rural community. The boats, painted in soft whites, grays, and accented with bold roof colors of red and teal, stand out immediately. Their bright rooftops add vitality and energy to the painting, while the expressive texture of the brushwork creates a sense of liveliness, as though one can almost hear the creak of wooden planks and the murmur of villagers gathered on board. These ferries do not dominate the composition through size but through their importance-they are the visual and narrative anchors that connect the entire scene. Around them, subtle human figures, captured in quick, gestural strokes, suggest activity and movement, evoking the sense of villagers boarding, unloading goods, or simply socializing by the riverbank. The backdrop of the painting is a lush, thriving landscape filled with layers of green foliage. The trees are rendered with expressive dabs and swirls of paint, ranging from deep emerald and olive to lighter tones touched by sunlight. This dynamic layering conveys both depth and texture, enveloping the boats in a natural embrace. Amidst the green, small but bright details emerge: rooftops of village houses in ochre, terracotta, and white peek from behind the foliage, and hints of red and orange bring warmth to the otherwise cool and verdant palette. These houses, though distant and partly hidden, give the viewer a sense of the wider village community that thrives beyond the immediate river crossing.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Village boats on a ferry"* ARTISTS: Yuriy Suprunchuk* SIZE: 15x20 cm/5.90x7.87 inches'* MEDIUM: oil, cardboard* HAND PAINTED: Original painting from our collection* CONDITION: we tried to convey the maximum information with the help of photos about this product About the artist: Zhitomir artist Suprunchuk Yuri Sergeevich Born on April 11, 1961, in the city of Zhitomir.
