This oil painting cardboard, titled "Flowering tree and chickens", the composition centers around a magnificent flowering tree, whose delicate white blossoms spread across the canvas like a cloud of petals against a brilliant blue sky. The tree, full of life and energy, serves as the focal point, while the surrounding landscape adds depth and richness to the scene. In the foreground, chickens peck at the ground, adding a sense of movement and everyday rural charm. The ground is depicted with earthy browns, greens, and hints of yellow, suggesting a sunlit village yard or garden. A small house or barn can be seen in the background, partially obscured by the tree, reinforcing the peaceful countryside atmosphere. The perspective is slightly tilted, making the viewer feel as if they are standing in the yard, witnessing this idyllic moment firsthand. The placement of the tree and chickens creates a natural balance, with the tree’s upward-reaching branches contrasting the more grounded, lively activity of the chickens below. The artist employs a striking contrast between the cool blue sky and the warm tones of the earth, making the white blossoms stand out in full vibrancy. The bright, pure white of the flowers is softened with hints of pale yellow, blue, and lavender, capturing the way sunlight plays on delicate petals. The sky is painted in a rich, clear blue with subtle variations in tone, suggesting a bright, sunny day. The warm, earthy tones of the foreground, with patches of green grass and sunlit soil, create a harmonious balance between cool and warm hues. The dark red and brown tones of the chickens stand out against the lighter ground, adding a dynamic contrast to the scene. The lighting in the painting is bright and natural, emphasizing the freshness of spring. The use of highlights and shadows adds depth to the landscape, making the tree appear lush and full, while the chickens are given a sense of volume and movement. The background house or barn is rendered with softer, more blended strokes, keeping it slightly out of focus, which helps to draw attention to the central tree and the activity in the foreground. The presence of the chickens adds a touch of nostalgia, reminding the viewer of traditional village life, where nature and animals coexist in a peaceful, cyclical rhythm. The image invites the viewer to imagine the fresh scent of blossoms, the soft clucking of hens, and the gentle warmth of the sun on a spring morning. 3806
