This oil painting cardboard, titled "Ducks in the lake", the muted, earthy color palette combined with expressive strokes brings the scene to life, evoking the peaceful atmosphere of a quiet day by the water. The foreground is dominated by a reflective lake, where a group of ducks glides across the surface. Their white feathers contrast sharply against the darker water, making them a focal point of the composition. The artist’s use of impasto creates a rich texture, giving the water a rippling effect, as if gently disturbed by the ducks' movements. The shoreline is depicted with deep browns, ochres, and hints of green, suggesting patches of mud, reeds, and grass growing along the edge. In the middle ground, a rustic countryside scene unfolds. A wooden fence, painted in rough, uneven strokes, stretches along the landscape, partially submerged in the soft, earthy terrain. The fields are rendered in shades of yellow, green, and brown, reflecting the changing seasons or the golden light of an overcast day. Small, scattered rooftops of village houses peek through the foliage, painted in subdued blues and reds, adding a sense of human presence without overpowering the natural elements. A dramatic tree with dark, almost black, foliage stands prominently in the left portion of the painting. Its gnarled branches, tinged with streaks of red, reach skyward, creating a striking contrast against the pale, muted sky. The tree serves as a powerful visual anchor in the composition, adding verticality and balance. Other smaller trees and bushes, painted in looser strokes of yellow and green, frame the scene, providing depth and texture. The background features a soft, cloudy sky painted in a blend of beige, gray, and pale yellow. The thick brushwork gives the sky a moody, textured quality, suggesting an overcast day where the light diffuses gently across the landscape. The subtle variations in tone and texture create an atmospheric effect, making the scene feel intimate and immersive. The overall mood of the painting is calm yet rich in detail, capturing the timeless beauty of rural life. The presence of the ducks adds a dynamic, peaceful element to the scene, emphasizing the tranquility of the countryside. The painting’s rich textures, harmonious color contrasts, and balanced composition invite the viewer to experience a moment of stillness and reflection, appreciating the delicate interactions between land, water, and life.
