Evening Light (2024)Oil painting
by Simon Kozhin

The artist painted this life-size sketch from the balcony of a hotel in Turunc, Turkey, while in the shade, and accurately and vividly depicted the quiet, warm coastal landscape. Depicting a collection of sailboats gently bobbing on a tranquil, jade-hued sea, the painting evokes a sense of calm and leisure. The artist skillfully employs a palette of cool greens and blues, seamlessly blending them to reflect the sunlit waters shimmering texture. Above, a lush, forested hillside meets the sky, rendered in broad, expressive strokes that suggest movement and depth. The juxtaposition of the solid earth tones with the fluidity of the water creates a compelling visual contrast. Intricate details, like the boats reflections, showcase the artists acute attention to light and perspective, adding to the scenes realism and charm. This piece stands out for its ability to convey both tranquility and dynamism, inviting viewers into an idyllic maritime escape.
