NoKalen 1273This expressive oil painting captures a serene riverside scene rich in texture and color. The focal point is a lone rowboat gently moored on the calm waters of a river, subtly rocking under the sheltering canopy of willow trees. These willows are depicted with vigorous, impasto brushstrokes, their lush green foliage dense and lively, imparting a sense of movement as if swaying in a gentle breeze. The sky above swirls with a pastiche of pastel hues, where strokes of white, blue, and lavender intermingle, creating a soft, dreamlike backdrop for the willows. The reflection of the sky in the water adds to the tranquility, with the colors on the water's surface blending into a slightly darker palette, suggesting the depth and stillness of the river. In the foreground, rich earthen tones are used to render the riverbank, where dabs of green and yellow suggest a meadow kissed by sunlight. Flecks of pink and white capture the delicate blossoms of riverside flowers, adding a dash of vibrant life to the scene. The entire composition is alive with dynamic brushwork and a bold application of paint, giving the artwork a tactile quality that invites the viewer to not just see, but feel the landscape. The juxtaposition of the peaceful subject with the energetic technique creates a captivating tension, making "Under the Willows" a powerful embodiment of nature's harmonious yet ever-dynamic essence.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Under the willows"* ARTISTS: Alex Kalenyuk* SIZE: 25x30 cm/'9.84x11.81 inches' * MEDIUM: oil, canvas* 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.
