Original artwork description:

The painting , created en plein air, perfectly embodies the midday light of an old provincial town. The impasto in this painting goes beyond simply adding texture; it becomes a tool for conveying the sensory experience of the place.
Patches of warm yellows and ochres are scattered across the sun-drenched facades and the ground. The paint appears dry and crusty, reflecting the harsh effects of the sun. Contrasting these warm tones are areas of cool blues, grays, and greens in the shadows, the sky, and the distant buildings. The masterful transitions between warm and cool colors create a sense of the air itself being in motion, shimmering and distorting the light as the heat rises.
The impasto strokes evoke the rough, uneven texture of weathered plaster and crumbling brick, so the texture of the paint becomes a visual record of the town's history and the passage of time.
A sense of peaceful contemplation pervades the scene. The viewer is transported to the quiet streets feeling a midday slumber, a moment when the town had paused, holding its breath, waiting for the sun to relent.
