This oil painting cardboard, titled "Outside the city by boat", the artist employs thick, expressive brushstrokes and a rich palette of colors to bring the composition to life, evoking a sense of tranquility and nostalgia. The focal point of the painting is a small boat floating on the calm river waters. A lone figure, dressed in white, is seated in the boat, creating a sense of solitude and contemplation. The boat's blue color contrasts beautifully with the earthy tones of the landscape, drawing the viewer’s eye toward the central element of the composition. The movement of the water is depicted through short, deliberate brushstrokes, reflecting the shimmering light and gentle ripples on the surface. The riverbank is lined with tall, lush trees that stand as guardians of the water. The foliage, painted in deep greens, warm browns, and hints of golden hues, creates a sense of depth and movement. The artist has skillfully used impasto to add texture, making the trees appear almost tangible. Their reflections in the water add a layer of complexity to the composition, emphasizing the peaceful stillness of the scene. In the background, a faint outline of a cityscape emerges, partially obscured by the dense greenery. The buildings, painted in muted tones, provide a subtle contrast to the vibrant natural elements in the foreground. This juxtaposition of urban and rural elements suggests a place where people can retreat from the bustle of the city and find solace in nature. The sky is painted with soft pastel hues, featuring wispy pink clouds drifting across a pale blue expanse. The gentle, swirling brushstrokes give the impression of a light breeze passing through, further enhancing the tranquil atmosphere. The sky’s reflection in the water merges seamlessly with the landscape, uniting all the elements in perfect harmony. The foreground of the painting is filled with lush grass and small patches of vegetation, painted in bright greens and earthy browns. The artist’s use of bold, textured strokes creates a sense of richness and vitality in the natural setting. The perspective leads the viewer’s gaze from the grassy riverbank, across the shimmering water, toward the distant city skyline. This painting captures a fleeting moment of peaceful solitude, where one can escape the constraints of urban life and immerse themselves in the beauty of nature. The rich textures, harmonious color palette, and balanced composition all contribute to an evocative and atmospheric piece that invites the viewer to pause and appreciate the simple joys of a day spent by the water. The artist's ability to convey light, movement, and emotion through expressive brushwork makes this work a compelling and immersive visual experience.
