Vibrant, textured brushstrokes capture a tranquil landscape bathed in the warm glow of a sunset. The sky is adorned with shades of orange and purple, while the greenery below hints at a lush, serene environment. In this sketch from nature, I tried to convey the fleeting beauty of the sunset, the lilac fog enveloping the meadows and forests, and the serene landscape near the village of Bolshoye Sytkovo. Somewhere in the distance you can hear the cuckoo singing, and in the silence of the evening after a hot day, birds occasionally fly by. Using impressionistic and realistic techniques in oil on canvas, my brushstrokes reflect the peaceful yet powerful dance of light as it recedes into the horizon, mingling with earthy greens and lighting up the sky. This piece is an ode to the deep peace and reflection that nature brings, inviting contemplative calm into any space.
