This oil painting cardboard, titled "The ducks hid near the tree", the artist employs an impasto technique, layering thick paint to create a vibrant composition that radiates movement, depth, and a dynamic interplay of light and shadow. In the foreground, a group of white ducks gathers at the water’s edge, partially concealed by the hanging branches of lush trees. The ducks are painted in swift, confident strokes of white, accented with hints of red and orange on their beaks. Their presence adds a sense of life and tranquility to the scene, reinforcing the peaceful coexistence of animals and their natural habitat. The water beneath them reflects the foliage and the sky, depicted with dark greens, browns, and cool grays, creating a shimmering effect that suggests gentle ripples. The middle ground is dominated by two large, vibrant trees with thick trunks and dense, sweeping canopies. The leaves are rendered in bold, energetic strokes of green, yellow, and blue, giving the trees a dynamic, windswept appearance. The trunks and branches, painted in deep reds and dark browns, contrast sharply with the bright foliage, adding depth and a striking visual contrast to the composition. The artist’s technique conveys the texture of bark and the delicate interplay of sunlight filtering through the leaves. Beyond the trees, the background consists of rolling green fields, painted in a more muted and blended style, suggesting distance and openness. The soft, rolling forms of the land provide a sense of depth, drawing the viewer’s eye further into the painting. The sky, though mostly obscured by the heavy tree cover, is hinted at with subtle tones of light gray and pale blue, suggesting an overcast or gently sunlit day. The impasto technique used throughout the painting creates a rich, tactile surface that enhances the sense of depth and realism. The thick application of paint, especially in the trees and foreground, makes the scene feel almost three-dimensional, inviting the viewer to step into this peaceful riverside setting. The painting evokes a sense of stillness and harmony, capturing the gentle rustling of leaves, the quiet movements of the ducks, and the dappled light filtering through the trees. The painting invites the viewer to pause and appreciate the simple yet profound moments of life in the countryside, where wildlife and lush greenery create a timeless, peaceful atmosphere.
