January 1 (2021)Oil painting by Anatolii Varvarov

Varv3
Oil artwork “January 1” captures a quiet winter morning in a snowy city playground. A red swing stands still above the white snow, casting long shadows across the ground. On the seat of the swing lies a small paper airplane, adding a delicate and symbolic detail to the calm winter scene. Bare trees, parked cars, and distant buildings frame the snowy yard under a pale sky.

The composition reflects the peaceful atmosphere of the first day of the year. The empty swing and the untouched snow create a feeling of silence after celebration, while the paper airplane suggests a moment of reflection and imagination. The surrounding trees and buildings emphasize the quiet city environment, where the playground rests in winter stillness.

Created with oil on canvas, the artwork highlights the contrast between the bright red swing and the cool tones of snow and sky. Soft brushwork captures the texture of the winter ground and the light shadows stretching across the playground. The swing, snow, trees, airplane, and city background together create a contemplative scene that reflects the calm beginning of January.
