Oil painting A cow in a field near a village Oksana Ivanyuk

№AAA4073

This oil painting cardboard, titled "A cow in a field near a village", the composition is divided into three main sections the foreground, which consists of a golden field with hints of blue and green; the middle ground, where a lone cow grazes peacefully; and the background, which showcases a quaint village nestled against a dense treeline. The foreground is painted with thick, textured strokes of yellow, gold, and blue, creating a dynamic sense of movement. The uneven patches of color suggest a well-trodden pasture, where grass and soil intermingle. The blue hues, contrasting with the warmer tones, hint at the presence of shadows or possibly wildflowers scattered throughout the field. At the center of the composition, a cow with earthy brown tones grazes leisurely. The animal is depicted with a few confident strokes, emphasizing its presence without overly detailed rendering. The placement of the cow within the scene provides a sense of scale, reinforcing the vastness of the open land and the tranquility of rural existence. Beyond the cow, a row of houses lines the edge of the field. Their red and beige roofs contrast with the cooler greens of the surrounding foliage. The artist uses bold, impasto strokes to define the rooftops and walls, lending a sense of depth and solidity to the structures. The houses, with their rustic and simple charm, appear to belong to a traditional village setting, perhaps one where agriculture and livestock are central to daily life. The background features towering trees painted in a mix of deep greens, warm browns, and hints of red. These trees frame the village, creating a protective enclosure that adds warmth and intimacy to the scene. The sky is suggested with soft patches of blue, visible through the gaps in the foliage, adding an airy quality to the upper portion of the painting. The overall atmosphere is one of quiet simplicity, where nature and human habitation exist in harmony. The combination of thick, expressive brushstrokes and a rich, vibrant palette enhances the painting’s vitality, making it not just a landscape but a moment captured in time. The use of light and shadow, particularly in the interplay between the sunlit field and the shaded trees, adds depth and contrast, further immersing the viewer in this idyllic countryside setting.
