Windmill at night. Plein Air (2025)Oil painting by Dmitry Fedorov

Experience the quiet magic of a Dutch night with this original oil painting, created en plein air in the historic village of Dalen, Netherlands.
Captured under the starlight, this piece features a traditional Dutch windmill illuminated against the deep, velvety darkness of the night sky. Painting outdoors at night allows for a unique exploration of light and shadow, resulting in rich, textured brushwork and a palette that vibrates with nocturnal energy.
The windmill, a symbol of Dutch heritage, stands as a glowing beacon. Using a palette knife and bold brushstrokes, I focused on the contrast between the warm artificial light hitting the sails and the mysterious purple and indigo tones of the surrounding landscape.
