This oil painting cardboard, titled "Sunny day in winter", captures a bright yet atmospheric winter landscape. The artist employs a bold impasto technique, using rich textures and expressive brushstrokes to depict the contrast between the crisp snow, warm sunlight, and deep winter shadows. The composition leads the viewer’s eye along a snow-covered path that stretches into the distance, flanked by cool blue and white tones. A solitary figure, painted in a warm yellow hue, moves along the road, adding a human element and a sense of scale. To the left and right, tall, reddish-brown trees with twisting branches frame the scene, their warm hues contrasting beautifully against the cool, wintry surroundings. In the background, sunlit buildings and trees bathed in golden light add a cozy touch, suggesting a small village or countryside settlement. The diagonal brushstrokes and sloping lines of the snowbanks add a dynamic feel, creating the illusion of movement and depth, as if the viewer is walking into the scene. The sky, painted in shades of lavender, gray, and blue, enhances the wintery feel while still reflecting sunlight. The interplay of cool shadows and warm highlights creates a vibrant energy that brings the painting to life. The yellow and white highlights on the snow suggest the brightness of the midday sun, which casts long shadows and adds depth to the composition. The solitary figure, though small, is painted with a bright, warm tone, making it stand out against the snowy background and adding a focal point to the composition. The painting conveys a feeling of peaceful solitude and crisp winter beauty. Despite the cold tones of the snow and sky, the warm sunlight and bright colors of the trees and buildings evoke a sense of warmth and comfort. The signature is subtly placed in the lower right corner, blending harmoniously with the painting’s cool tones. The style is distinctly impressionistic, characterized by expressive textures, dynamic color contrasts, and a focus on atmosphere rather than fine detail. The artist successfully captures the brilliance of sunlight on snow, a challenging feat that requires skillful manipulation of light, shadow, and color. 3764
