Original artwork description:

This painting, titled "Kurganny Lane", captures a tranquil urban winter scene in the city of Chernihiv. Painted en plein air in 2024, it measures 60x70 cm and reflects the distinctive charm of a quiet residential street blanketed in snow. The composition leads the viewer's gaze down a winding, snow-covered path framed by colorful houses, fences, and rooftops layered with snow.

In the foreground, the textured brushstrokes vividly render piled snowbanks, hinting at the chill of winter. On either side of the lane, modest homes with pitched roofs and muted facades stand in quiet harmony, while faint touches of color, such as green shutters and yellow fencing, offer subtle contrast. In the middle ground, urban life blends with industrial elements as distant buildings and smokestacks rise against the soft, atmospheric sky.

The sky, painted with expressive strokes, captures a diffused light that hints at an late afternoon, casting a glow over the scene. Utility poles and bare tree branches punctuate the composition, adding rhythm and a sense of quiet stillness to the winter day. This painting seamlessly blends natural and manmade elements, preserving the charm of Kurganny Lane in its serene, wintry state.
