No.AAA4716The oil painting on cardboard titled "Fresh Haystacks in the Field" captures the rustic charm of a pastoral landscape, where freshly harvested hay is neatly stacked under the vast open sky. The artist employs a rich, expressive palette dominated by warm golden hues, accentuated with earthy browns, deep greens, and subtle touches of lavender and blue. Through thick impasto strokes, the texture of the haystacks is brought to life, creating a tactile sense of depth that allows the viewer to almost feel the rough, fibrous strands of dried grass. In the foreground, two prominent haystacks stand tall, their conical forms supported by wooden poles that protrude at various angles, giving a sense of structure and stability. The artist’s use of bold, layered brushstrokes adds a sculptural quality to the haystacks, making them appear robust and full, freshly gathered from the surrounding fields. The golden tones of the hay shimmer in the light, suggesting a late summer or early autumn scene when the harvest is at its peak. Beyond the two main haystacks, additional smaller stacks are visible in the background, leading the viewer’s eye further into the depth of the composition. These distant elements are rendered with slightly softer strokes, creating a sense of perspective and distance. The rolling fields, painted in a mix of sunlit yellow, ochre, and hints of green, stretch towards the horizon, providing a harmonious backdrop to the central subject. Above, the sky is an intricate blend of pale blues, soft greens, and swirling whites, evoking a sense of movement in the clouds. The fluidity of the sky contrasts with the solidity of the haystacks, adding a dynamic element to the composition. The interplay of light and shadow within the sky further enhances the overall atmosphere, suggesting a tranquil yet vibrant rural setting. The ground beneath the haystacks is painted with an array of earthy tones, ranging from deep browns to golden yellows, interspersed with hints of green grass and darker patches of soil. The thick application of paint gives the impression of rough, uneven terrain, indicative of a well-trodden field where the labor of farmers has left its mark.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Fresh haystacks in the field"* 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.
