Oil painting Forest in the reflection of the river Yuriy Suprunchuk

№AAA4428

The painting "Forest in the Reflection of the River" captures a serene and harmonious moment in nature, where the calm waters of the river mirror the beauty of the surrounding landscape. The composition is balanced between the lush greenery of the forest and the smooth expanse of water, creating a sense of tranquility and stillness. In the upper part of the painting, the forest rises gently, its trees standing tall against a sky that is a soft, muted blue with subtle wisps of clouds. The evergreens, painted in deep greens and hints of blue, add depth and contrast, their pointed tops reaching toward the sky. There is a quiet dynamism in the scene, as a few white birds are seen in mid-flight, adding a sense of movement and life. The riverbank is composed of earth tones and natural textures, with rocky patches and grassy knolls interspersed along the edge of the water. The brushwork here is expressive, with strokes that suggest the unevenness of the terrain, the gentle slope of the land, and the intricate play of light on natural surfaces. The warm golden tones of the sunlit ground contrast beautifully with the deep greens and blues of the trees, adding a sense of warmth and vitality to the scene. The reflection in the water is a key element of the painting, doubling the visual beauty of the landscape while adding an element of surreal stillness. The water’s surface is smooth yet slightly rippled, distorting the reflection just enough to give it a dreamlike quality. The rich, cool blues of the water blend seamlessly with the darker shades of the mirrored forest, creating an almost symmetrical harmony between the upper and lower halves of the painting. The play of light in the painting suggests that this moment is either early morning or late afternoon when the sun sits low in the sky, casting long, soft shadows and bathing the landscape in a gentle glow. A subtle moon-like reflection in the water adds an ethereal touch, further enhancing the sense of peace and wonder that the painting evokes.
