Old willows near the river (2024)Oil painting by Victor Onyshchenko

This oil painting captures a winter landscape on the bank of the small river Stryzhen in Chernihiv. The composition is dominated by old willows, their gnarled trunks and twisted branches stretching toward the sky. Some of the trees retain golden remnants of their foliage, which contrast vividly against the cool winter tones of the snow-covered ground and the icy blue water.

The artist employs expressive, textured brushstrokes, bringing depth and movement to the scene. The snow reflects subtle hues of purple and blue, hinting at the interplay of light and shadow. The river meanders through the landscape, mirroring the shapes of the trees in its surface.

The sky is a soft, muted blue, complementing the earthy tones of the trees and distant forest. The painting’s impressionistic style emphasizes atmosphere and emotion, creating a sense of quiet solitude and natural beauty.
