Title: Oil painting Dawn over a quiet river Oksana Kalenyuk Description: NoAAA5105The oil painting on Cardboard titled "Dawn Over a Quiet River" captures the tender, almost sacred moment when night surrenders to day, and the world holds its breath in a pause of golden light. Rendered in rich impasto strokes and a harmonious palette of warm yellows, deep greens, earthy browns, and hints of cool blue, this piece is a meditative landscape that celebrates the silence and beauty of early morning by the water. At the heart of the painting flows a serene river, its glassy surface mirroring the surrounding world with subtle distortion. The brushwork across the water is both deliberate and expressive, using layered horizontal strokes to suggest the shifting reflection of sky and trees above. The colors here are not uniform but rather a symphony of greens-olive, moss, jade-intertwined with hints of ochre and brown, indicating submerged reeds, soft ripples, or floating leaves that drift slowly downstream. This body of water, still and undisturbed, becomes a mirror for the dawning light, a vessel for time and emotion. To the lower right of the composition, a lone figure rows gently in a small blue boat. The figure, clad in white with hints of rose red, is rendered with just enough detail to convey posture and presence. Their slow, deliberate movement through the water suggests contemplation, solitude, and connection with the world around them. The boat itself is a striking shade of light blue, standing out against the earthy tones of the river and emphasizing its gentle journey as a symbolic passage through time, thought, or memory. The riverbank is bathed in golden light, painted with warm tones of sunlit yellow, sienna, and ochre that signal the first rays of morning. Brushstrokes in this area are broad and textured, evoking dried grasses, sun-bleached driftwood, and wild growth. The edge of the water is not a rigid line but a gentle transition, where the river meets land with grace and softness. It feels like a place untouched by time, a hidden corner of the world that awakens slowly and silently. Rising behind the bank is a lush forest, its dense canopy a riot of rich, dark green with occasional bursts of red, violet, and deep brown. The trees are thick and wild, painted in swirling, expressive strokes that suggest wind in the leaves, birdcalls in the branches, and life pulsing beneath bark and soil.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Dawn over a quiet river"* ARTISTS: Oksana Kalenyuk* 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 artists: Kalenyuk Oksana was born in 1964 in Rivne region.
