Title: Oil painting Autumn haystacks Alex Kalenyuk Description: No.AAA3811This oil painting cardboard, titled "Autumn haystacks", the composition is centered on a vast field dotted with traditional haystacks, arranged in a rhythmic, natural pattern. Their rounded, organic forms contrast with the linear elements of the land and distant tree line, creating depth and structure within the painting. The foreground features wild grasses and uneven terrain, leading the viewer’s eye toward the middle ground, where the haystacks rest in a harmonious sequence. The background consists of a dense autumnal forest painted in golden yellows, deep greens, and hints of warm orange. Above, the sky is depicted in a bold blue, serving as a refreshing counterbalance to the earthy tones below. The combination of warm and cool colors enhances the sense of depth and natural harmony in the landscape. The artist’s use of color is striking, with a palette dominated by warm, earthy tones, punctuated by cooler blues and greens. The golden hues of the haystacks contrast beautifully with the purple-pink undertones of the field, creating a unique interplay of light and shadow. These unexpected color variations give the painting a dreamlike, impressionistic quality, where the landscape seems to glow with an inner warmth. The sky, a brilliant azure blue, creates a striking contrast against the golden land below, reinforcing the impression of crisp autumn air. The trees in the background, painted with blended shades of yellow, green, and orange, further emphasize the seasonal transition, capturing the fleeting beauty of fall. The haystacks are depicted with deliberate, rounded strokes that highlight their solid forms, while the surrounding grass and field are painted with energetic, sweeping motions, giving the impression of movement—perhaps a gentle autumn breeze stirring the dried stalks. The background trees are rendered with a mix of sharp and soft strokes, adding variety and depth to the overall composition. The painting also invites contemplation, as the viewer can almost hear the rustling of dried grasses, feel the rough texture of the hay, and imagine the scent of the cooling earth. It captures a timeless moment of simplicity and connection to nature, reminding us of the beauty found in everyday rural scenes.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Autumn haystacks"* ARTISTS: Alex Kalenyuk* SIZE: 15x20 cm/'5.90x7.87 inches' * MEDIUM: oil, cardboard* HAND PAINTED: Original painting from our collection* CONDITION: Photos provide accurate information about the product.About the artist: Born March 13, 1954, in the city of Piryatin, Poltava region.
