Oil painting Deep autumn has arrived Oleksiy Ivanyuk

№AAA4114

This oil painting canvas, titled "Deep autumn has arrived", the muted color palette of earthy browns, soft grays, and pale greens conveys the transition from the golden vibrancy of fall to the quiet dormancy of winter. The artist’s expressive brushstrokes, layered with thick impasto, add depth and texture, emphasizing the rawness of nature during this season. The foreground is dominated by dry, golden grass interspersed with patches of green, hinting at the last remnants of warmth before the frost sets in. Scattered throughout the field are blackbirds, their dark forms contrasting against the subdued landscape. Their presence adds a sense of movement and life, as if they are preparing for migration, responding instinctively to the seasonal shift. In the middle ground, several leafless trees stand tall, their bare branches reaching into the sky. The skeletal forms of the trees, painted with gestural strokes, create a sense of desolation and quiet resilience. Some branches are tinged with hints of ochre and rust, possibly indicating the last clinging leaves before they are swept away by the wind. The rough texture of the bark and the dynamic angles of the branches add a stark beauty to the composition. The background fades into a misty horizon, with distant silhouettes of trees and possibly a small village or farmstead barely visible through the haze. The sky, a mixture of grays and off-whites, dominates the upper portion of the painting, heavy with clouds that seem to foretell the coming of winter. The swirling, uneven application of paint in the sky suggests movement, as if the wind is stirring the last remnants of autumn before the landscape succumbs to the cold. The overall atmosphere of the painting is contemplative, evoking a deep sense of seasonal change and the passage of time. The artist’s use of thick, textured brushstrokes gives the painting a tactile quality, making the viewer feel the crispness of the air and the rustling of dry grass underfoot. The interplay between light and shadow, warmth and coolness, adds a poetic depth, allowing the viewer to experience both the melancholy and the quiet beauty of deep autumn.
