The oil painting on Canvas titled "Cold summer wind" immerses the viewer into a fleeting, paradoxical moment—when summer wears the colors of warmth, yet the air carries a crispness more reminiscent of autumn’s breath. Executed in thick impasto with a palette knife, the work channels both texture and movement, inviting not only a visual but a tactile experience of the landscape. Each stroke, layered and energetic, contributes to a raw, sensory portrayal of nature stirred by wind. In the foreground, lush green grass is rendered with varying hues of yellow, jade, and olive, its blades sculpted with bold, spontaneous gestures. These dynamic strokes give the impression that the grass is swaying, bent under the invisible force of a gust. Patches of brighter green and small flickers of yellow near the base suggest the fleeting presence of sunlight, peeking through a sky that threatens change. Scattered across the meadow, a group of grazing cows punctuates the composition with dark forms, their outlines softened by texture rather than line—indicating both stillness and life amid the restless environment. To the right, a cluster of birch and poplar trees rises, their trunks twisted and alive with streaks of white, brown, and crimson. The bark is painted in aggressive, almost violent strokes, enhancing the sense of turbulence. The leaves, rendered in muddy greens and ochres, appear caught mid-rustle—neither fully still nor entirely swept away. They capture the essence of a summer day turning restless, where heat meets atmosphere, and a storm or a shiver might follow. The sky dominates the upper half of the painting with explosive expressionism. Shades of cerulean, turquoise, cobalt, and lavender intertwine with thick clouds of milky white, peach, and indigo. The clouds do not drift—they churn, twist, and tumble across the canvas. The brushwork suggests that the wind has not only passed through the field but is now shaping the heavens themselves. Above, a flock of birds in flight crosses the scene, their dark silhouettes tilting against the light. They too are caught in the current, scattered across the sky as though unsure of their direction, echoing the chaotic beauty of the wind.
