This oil painting cardboard, titled "Sailing on a boat into the sunset", the artist employs an impasto technique, layering thick brushstrokes to create a highly tactile and dynamic composition. The contrast between fiery sunset tones and cool elements of water and sky adds depth and emotion to the painting. The foreground is dominated by a deep crimson and violet-hued river, reflecting the intense colors of the sky. The thick application of paint mimics the movement of the water, creating an impression of rippling waves gently carrying a small green boat. The boat, painted in a bold shade of green, stands out against the warm tones of the river. Inside, a figure sits, their posture relaxed, as they sail toward the glowing horizon. The presence of the figure adds a human element, making the scene feel more personal and contemplative. The middle ground showcases a dramatic shoreline, painted in fiery reds, oranges, and yellows. The bold, textured strokes convey the rough, rugged terrain, possibly cliffs or hills, bathed in the golden light of the setting sun. Tall, slender poles, painted in pale yellows and whites, stand along the shore, their presence adding verticality and a rhythmic balance to the composition. These poles, possibly streetlights or power lines, create a contrast between the natural elements and subtle human intervention in the landscape. The sky is a stunning display of soft pastels and dynamic movement. The upper portion blends warm beige and ochre tones with patches of blue, suggesting a sky illuminated by the fading light of the sun. A large, textured moon or sun hovers in the sky, painted with thick strokes of green and yellow, casting a mystical glow over the scene. The sky’s expressive brushwork suggests the shifting clouds catching the last light of day, adding to the sense of transition and fleeting beauty. The overall atmosphere of the painting is both serene and dramatic, capturing the quiet solitude of a boat journey while emphasizing the intense, vibrant energy of the sunset. The contrast between warm and cool colors, the interplay of light and shadow, and the rich textures give the painting an immersive and dreamlike quality. The painting invites the viewer to feel the warmth of the setting sun, hear the gentle lapping of the water, and experience the peaceful solitude of a journey toward the horizon.
