Oil painting The beginning of autumn days Oksana Ivanyuk

№AAA4060

This oil painting cardboard, titled "The beginning of autumn days", the artist masterfully conveys the warmth of the late-season sun while hinting at the approaching cooler days through a rich palette of earthy tones, golden hues, and deep greens. The focal point of the composition is an old farmhouse with a red-tiled roof, nestled among towering trees with lush foliage. The house exudes a sense of history and homeliness, its walls displaying the gentle wear of time. The warm, ochre and brown shades used for the structure harmonize with the surrounding landscape, blending seamlessly into the natural environment. The roof, painted in striking shades of red and orange, reflects the light of the sun, drawing the viewer's eye toward the heart of the scene. In the foreground, haystacks with golden tones are scattered, signaling the end of the harvest season. The thick, impasto strokes used to depict them add a sense of depth and texture, making them stand out vividly against the ground. A wooden fence, slightly weathered, runs alongside the house, partially enclosing a small yard where a figure, dressed in red, appears to be engaged in daily chores. This tiny yet vibrant human element brings life to the composition, suggesting the continuity of rural traditions. The background consists of a dense canopy of trees, their deep green leaves tinged with hints of orange and yellow, reflecting the seasonal shift. The artist employs bold, expressive brushstrokes to render the foliage, creating a sense of movement as if a gentle autumn breeze is rustling through the leaves. The sky above is a soft mixture of blues and whites, with swirling clouds that add dynamism to the otherwise tranquil countryside scene. Light and shadow play an essential role in this painting, adding depth and dimension. Sunlight filters through the trees, casting warm highlights on the house and haystacks while creating soft, cool shadows on the ground. This interplay of light and color evokes a feeling of nostalgia, reminding the viewer of the fleeting beauty of early autumn days. The overall composition is balanced, with the house serving as a strong anchor amidst the flowing elements of nature. The painting successfully conveys a sense of peace, tradition, and the rhythm of rural life as it gracefully shifts from one season to another.
