NoAAA3939This oil painting cardboard, titled "Village houses", the scene portrays a peaceful countryside setting, where small, traditional houses with thatched and tiled roofs nestle among lush greenery, evoking a sense of nostalgia and tranquility. The composition is balanced, with the houses positioned centrally, drawing the viewer's eye towards them. The structures are painted in earthy tones of white, ochre, and brown, their surfaces textured with thick, impasto strokes that add depth and realism. The roofs, depicted in warm yellow and red hues, contrast with the surrounding cool greens, making the houses stand out as focal points of the composition. Towering trees in the background provide a natural frame for the scene. Their foliage is rendered in deep greens, browns, and hints of red, using bold, gestural brushstrokes that suggest movement, as if swaying in a gentle breeze. The artist employs a mix of loose and controlled strokes to create the illusion of dense foliage while maintaining an impressionistic quality. Light filters through the branches, casting soft shadows and adding a sense of depth to the painting. The foreground features a dirt path leading towards the houses, guiding the viewer into the scene. The path is depicted with a mix of earthy browns and soft beige tones, its uneven texture suggesting the well-trodden nature of rural roads. The grass and surrounding vegetation are painted in various shades of green, from deep olive to bright yellow-green, capturing the richness of the natural landscape. A small figure, possibly a villager dressed in traditional clothing, walks along the path, adding a human element to the composition. This detail brings life to the painting and enhances the storytelling aspect, suggesting a daily routine or a quiet moment in the simple rhythm of rural existence. Above, the sky is a soft, muted blue with subtle variations in tone, indicating a clear and serene day. The artist's application of color in the sky is delicate, with hints of warm and cool tones blending seamlessly to create a sense of atmosphere. The painting's impasto technique and expressive brushwork lend it a tactile quality, making the textures of the houses, trees, and landscape feel almost tangible. The interplay of light and shadow, combined with the warm and cool color contrasts, creates a lively yet peaceful ambiance. The painting invites the viewer to appreciate the quiet charm and timeless appeal of the rural world, where nature and human presence exist in harmony.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Village houses"* 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 productAbout the artists: Kalenyuk Oksana was born in 1964 in Rivne region.
