Oil painting Morning rooster crowing Oksana Ivanyuk

№AAA5193

The oil painting on Canvas titled "Morning rooster crowing" bursts with the fresh, radiant energy of a new day. Executed in an impasto technique, where thick layers of oil paint are applied with bold, expressive strokes, the canvas becomes a tactile celebration of rural life, alive with texture, color, and vitality. The artist skillfully captures not just a moment in time, but the very atmosphere of a morning that awakens with nature’s sounds and sunlit brilliance. At the center of the composition, three birds perch on a rustic wooden fence—two hens and a rooster. The rooster, painted with confident reds, oranges, ochres, and rich browns, stands tall and vocal, his beak slightly open in a silent crow. His proud plumage fans out, capturing light and contrast, with touches of cerulean and charcoal gray hinting at the early morning shadows. The hens beside him are rendered in warm, earthy tones, smaller and rounder, their gentle presence grounding the composition and emphasizing the rooster’s commanding stance. The background sky is a dynamic canvas in its own right—layered swaths of pale blues, creamy whites, and soft lavenders swirl and dance with motion, echoing the sound waves of the rooster’s call. These brushstrokes give the impression of wind moving through the sky or clouds parting as the sun rises. There’s an emotional dimension to this sky—hope, renewal, the beginning of something. To the right of the composition, a cluster of bright yellow sunflowers adds warmth and balance. The flowers, painted in buttery yellows and deep russets, lean toward the light, their petals almost vibrating with energy. The green leaves that cradle them are lush and fluid, hinting at morning dew and the fertile ground from which they grow. These sunflowers serve not just as a decorative element but as a symbol of vitality and constancy—turning always toward the sun, as if in harmony with the rooster’s call. The overall palette of the painting is vibrant yet natural, composed of strong primary tones softened by touches of neutral brown, sage green, and sky blue. This combination lends the artwork a cheerful yet grounded character. Each stroke is deliberate and gestural, speaking to the artist’s deep connection to the subject matter and intuitive grasp of the rural rhythm.
