DESCRIPTION: This oil painting is a plein air study of the majestic Carpathian Mountains in the serene beauty of spring. As the evening sun sets, it casts a warm, golden glow over the landscape, illuminating the snow-capped mountain peaks in the distance. The interplay of light and shadow creates a rich tapestry of colors, from the deep purples and pinks of the mountains to the soft oranges and yellows that reflect off the remaining patches of snow. The foreground reveals rustic village rooftops and countryside, depicted with broad, expressive brushstrokes that emphasize texture and depth. The vibrant color palette reflects the fleeting beauty of sunset, with warm tones dominating the scene, contrasted by cooler blues and violets in the sky and shadows. This painting not only captures the breathtaking scenery of the Carpathian Mountains but also conveys a profound sense of tranquility and harmony found in nature as day turns to night. The raw immediacy of plein air painting allows the viewer to feel the crisp evening air and witness the final moments of daylight, frozen in time.
