Oil painting Near the village lake Oksana Ivanyuk

№AAA3944

This oil painting cardboard, titled "Near the village lake", the composition is balanced between the lush foreground, the reflective waters of the lake, and the vast sky filled with soft clouds, creating a harmonious and inviting scene. The foreground is dominated by rich greens, yellows, and deep blues, representing the grassy terrain that gently slopes toward the lake. The artist's use of thick, impasto brushstrokes adds texture and depth, making the grass appear almost tangible. Bright spots of red, possibly small flowers or reeds, punctuate the greenery, adding warmth and a sense of movement to the landscape. The lake itself, nestled in the middle ground, is depicted with blended shades of blue, green, and hints of violet, reflecting both the sky above and the surrounding trees. The artist uses fluid strokes to create the illusion of water’s surface, giving it a serene and slightly rippled effect. This reflective quality enhances the sense of depth and natural beauty in the scene. A row of trees lines the far edge of the lake, painted in a mix of warm oranges, deep greens, and earthy browns. Some trees stand tall and slender, while others have fuller, rounded canopies, suggesting a diverse variety of foliage. The bold, gestural brushstrokes used to define the trees give them an organic, slightly windswept appearance, as if touched by a gentle breeze. Beyond the trees, a few village houses with red roofs and white walls are subtly nestled into the background, partially obscured by the foliage. Their small scale and muted tones suggest distance, reinforcing the depth of the landscape. The sky is a mesmerizing expanse of soft blues, purples, and whites, painted with sweeping, thick brushstrokes that create a dynamic, cloud-filled atmosphere. The clouds are light and airy, casting subtle shadows on the landscape below, suggesting the gentle warmth of a sunny day with a cool breeze. The artist employs an impressionistic style, using bold, textured strokes that capture the essence of the scene rather than strict details. This expressive technique enhances the painting’s sense of vitality and movement, making it feel alive with light and color. The vibrant contrasts, rich textures, and luminous quality of the painting invite the viewer to step into this idyllic countryside setting, experiencing the fresh air, the rustling of leaves, and the quiet beauty of a moment spent near the village lake.
