The artist uses a symphony of colors—vivid reds, radiant yellows, cool blues, and deep greens—to portray not only the setting but also the internal serenity that comes from being immersed in nature. Dominating the left side of the composition is a dense cluster of trees, their trunks and foliage ablaze in autumnal reds and fiery oranges. These trees serve not only as a visual anchor but as a symbolic refuge—their shade a metaphor for solace, stillness, and grounding. Despite the dramatic vibrancy of their color, they seem to stand in peaceful silence, their roots deeply embedded in the earth and their canopies whispering tales of time and renewal. The middle ground opens up to a herd of grazing cows, scattered with natural ease across a gentle rise in the landscape. Their forms, painted with thick strokes of white and brown, are loosely shaped but unmistakably serene. They move slowly and methodically, heads bowed to the ground, completely at peace in their environment. Their presence lends a sense of rhythm to the scene, echoing the steady heartbeat of the countryside. Behind them, a tapestry of color unfurls across the canvas—expanses of sunlit fields rendered in brilliant yellows and oranges, juxtaposed against deep shadowy blues and purples. This interplay of light and shadow creates a dynamic contrast that brings the composition to life. The glowing fields suggest warmth and abundance, while the cooler shadows beneath the trees offer comfort and a retreat from the intensity of the midday sun. The sky above is soft and clouded, painted with calming swirls of lavender, pale green, and light ochre. It suggests a time of day when the light is beginning to mellow, possibly late afternoon, when the world starts to quiet and reflect. The atmosphere feels still and contemplative—neither rushing toward evening nor lingering in full daylight. It is this in-between time that seems most appropriate for the theme of peace of mind, as though nature itself is pausing to breathe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING ***\u003cbr\u003e* TITLE: \"In the shade of trees is peace of mind\"\u003cbr\u003e* ARTISTS: Oleksiy Ivanyuk\u003cbr\u003e* SIZE: 15x20 cm\/'5.90x7.87 inches'\u003cbr\u003e* MEDIUM: oil, cardboard\u003cbr\u003e* HAND PAINTED: Original painting from our collection\u003cbr\u003e* CONDITION: we tried to convey the maximum information with the help of photos about this product \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the artist: Born March 13, 1954, in the city of Piryatin, Poltava region.
