Oil painting Summer walk outside the village Oleksiy Ivanyuk

№AAA4091

This oil painting cardboard, titled "Summer walk outside the village", the landscape is lush and verdant, filled with rich greens, soft purples, and delicate yellows that harmoniously blend together to create an atmosphere of tranquility and natural beauty. In the foreground, a small group of people, dressed in bright colors, strolls along a narrow dirt path that winds through the countryside. Their figures, though rendered with expressive and loose brushstrokes, convey movement and interaction, suggesting a leisurely conversation or shared moment of enjoyment. The contrast between their vibrant clothing and the earthy tones of the landscape draws the viewer’s attention to them, emphasizing the human connection to nature. The surrounding fields are painted with thick, impasto brushstrokes that add texture and depth, making the grass and wildflowers appear almost tangible. Splashes of pink and purple among the green hues suggest the presence of blooming flowers, enhancing the impression of a warm and flourishing summer day. In the middle ground, a small stream or wetland shimmers under the soft light, reflecting the colors of the sky. The water, though not sharply defined, provides a sense of coolness and movement, breaking the vast stretches of green with subtle blue and violet tones. Tall, slender trees rise in the background, their trunks and branches blending into the hazy, muted tones of the distant hills. These trees serve as a natural frame for the composition, guiding the viewer’s eye toward the far horizon, where the sky meets the land in a soft, dreamy transition. The sky itself is painted with pale yellows and purples, suggesting the gentle warmth of the sun diffused through a light haze. The use of expressive, thickly applied paint gives the painting a dynamic, almost tactile quality, emphasizing the richness of the summer landscape. The play of light and shadow, combined with the vibrant yet balanced color palette, creates an impression of a fleeting, beautiful moment—one of those peaceful walks where time seems to slow down, and nature’s beauty becomes the central focus. This painting evokes a feeling of nostalgia and serenity, reminding the viewer of simple summer joys—warm air, blooming fields, and the pleasure of an unhurried walk outside the village, surrounded by nature’s quiet magnificence.
