Original artwork description:

This painting, titled "River Flood. Sunny Day", beautifully captures a serene riverside scene near the Desna River in Chernihiv. Painted en plein air in 2024, the work measures 60x80 cm and radiates a vivid sense of life and movement, brought to life through expressive brushstrokes.

The composition centers on a group of slender trees partially submerged in floodwater. Their golden-yellow trunks stand out vividly against the blue reflections of the sky on the water's surface. The water, painted with fluid, dynamic strokes, mirrors the bright sky above and creates a sense of depth and light. Around the trees, patches of melting snow blend seamlessly into the rich greens and browns of the thawing ground, indicating the transition of seasons.

In the background, a line of distant trees stretches across the canvas, their warm reddish tones softly diffused by the sunlight. The clear sky, rendered with delicate, airy strokes, creates a tranquil and uplifting atmosphere, reinforcing the scene's celebration of nature's renewal.

The painting exudes a sense of harmony between light and water, capturing the beauty of a fleeting moment on a sunny day during the river's flood. It reflects the artist's deep connection to the Ukrainian landscape and mastery of plein air painting techniques.
