Description: №Kalen 1335 In this evocative oil painting, we are immersed in a scene that marries the rustic charm of rural life with the tactile intimacy of the medium. The artist has employed a palette knife with vigorous, sweeping strokes, adding a sense of dynamism and texture that almost allows us to feel the cool, malleable mud beneath our fingertips. The foreground is dominated by thick layers of paint, in hues of earthen browns and cool grays, skillfully representing the muddy ground that spreads across the canvas. This textured approach continues as the eyes move to the mid-ground where a weathered wooden bench hosts a lone chicken, its form created with a few deft swipes of sienna and burnt umber, standing as a vigilant sentinel. Beyond the chicken, we observe modest village homes painted with a pastiche of subdued colors, their walls showing signs of wear and life’s passage. The cottages are capped with roofs in rusty reds and muted greens, adding warmth to the scene. The background is filled with lush foliage, where the greenery is painted with bold strokes in varying shades of green and violet, providing a vivid contrast to the muddy terrain. Despite the overcast sky, suggested by the subdued blues and purples, there is a sense of tranquility and simplicity that pervades the scene. It's a snapshot of everyday rural life, unembellished and pure, inviting contemplation on the beauty found in the ordinary. *** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Near the mud"* ARTISTS: Alex Kalenyuk* SIZE: 20x25 cm/'7.87x9.84 inches' * MEDIUM: oil, canvas* HAND PAINTED: Original painting from our collection* CONDITION: Photos provide accurate information about the product.
