This oil painting cardboard, titled "It's cool by the river in the evening", the artist employs a bold impasto technique, using thick, expressive brushstrokes to create texture, movement, and a striking interplay of colors. The painting conveys a sense of solitude and calm, where the coolness of the evening air and the deepening twilight blend into a harmonious composition. In the foreground, a lone figure sits in a small red boat, gently drifting along the dark waters. The bright red of the boat provides a stark contrast to the deep blues and purples of the river, drawing the viewer’s attention to the central subject. The figure, dressed in white, appears contemplative, reinforcing the painting’s mood of peaceful isolation. The water, depicted with heavy strokes of deep blue and black, reflects the changing colors of the sky and the towering trees on the riverbank. The middle ground is dominated by a dense line of trees, painted in a mesmerizing mix of dark blues, fiery oranges, and deep greens. The impasto brushwork adds texture and dimension to the foliage, making the trees feel both solid and alive. The use of intense, contrasting colors suggests the final moments of sunlight catching the tops of the trees before night fully descends. Above, the sky is a swirling mix of purples, violets, and hints of fading pink, painted with sweeping, textured strokes. The movement of the clouds creates a dynamic yet serene effect, emphasizing the coolness of the evening air settling over the landscape. The blending of colors in the sky enhances the painting’s dreamlike quality, as if capturing the fleeting beauty of twilight. The painting invites the viewer to experience the soothing stillness of an evening on the water, where the last light of day fades into the cool embrace of night. Through expressive textures, rich contrasts, and an immersive composition, the artist masterfully conveys the beauty of solitude and the timeless rhythm of nature.
