This oil painting cardboard, titled "Sailing to the other shore", the composition is divided into three main elements: the reflective water in the foreground, the lush green trees in the background, and the small blue boat with its lone occupant, which serves as the focal point of the piece. The river dominates the lower half of the painting, rendered in deep browns, ochres, and muted greens. The brushwork creates a textured, rippling effect, suggesting the gentle movement of water. Reflections of trees and sky shimmer on the surface, subtly distorted by the river’s current. A wooden structure, possibly part of a dock or riverbank, emerges from the bottom right, adding a sense of depth and perspective. In the middle ground, a solitary figure in a small blue boat drifts across the water. The vivid blue of the boat stands in stark contrast to the earthy tones of the river, immediately drawing the viewer’s attention. The person, wearing a red head covering, adds a human element to the scene, creating a sense of quiet journeying or contemplation. The brushstrokes depicting the boat are bold yet fluid, reinforcing the motion of the vessel gliding toward the opposite shore. The background is composed of a dense array of trees painted in rich greens, with hints of yellow, brown, and deep purple interwoven to create a sense of layered foliage. The thick, impasto technique enhances the depth and fullness of the trees, making them appear almost tangible. The sky, partially visible through the canopy, is painted with soft, warm hues, suggesting either the glow of early morning or the warmth of a late afternoon sun. The artist employs an impressionistic style, using energetic, textured strokes to bring the landscape to life. The contrast between the cool blues of the water and boat and the warm, earthy tones of the land and foliage creates a harmonious balance within the composition. The overall mood of the painting is one of peaceful solitude, inviting the viewer to reflect on the quiet beauty of nature and the gentle passage of time. Whether seen as a simple river crossing or a metaphor for change and movement in life, the painting resonates with a sense of calm, introspection, and the unhurried rhythm of nature.
