Bursting with color and expressive brushwork, this work immerses the viewer in the sensory experience of a sun-drenched vegetable garden in the height of the season, where the scent of soil, ripening produce, and warmth hangs in the air like a lingering melody. A field of oversized cabbages dominates the foreground, their thick, round forms rendered in rich tones of turquoise, mint, and cool blue. These heads of cabbage, painted with bold, swirling palette knife strokes, feel full of life and texture, as if just plucked from the earth. Their presence is more than botanical—they are sculptural, rhythmic, and infused with movement. Nestled among them is a solitary figure in a red headscarf and warm-toned dress, crouched in labor or admiration. The figure is small but striking, providing human scale and intimacy to the expansive scene. The composition unfolds horizontally, leading the eye back to a modest house or barn rendered in saturated ultramarine and indigo, standing in contrast against the glowing cyan sky. The building’s deep colors hint at the coolness of interior shade in contrast with the external heat. This contrast of temperature—cool shadows and warm soil—creates a dynamic interplay throughout the painting. Surrounding the house and field are trees painted with gestural red and brown trunks, standing like sentinels against the brilliant cyan sky. Their presence adds both compositional balance and an emotional tone—suggesting a protective canopy over the life unfolding beneath. The sky, dotted with sweeping brushstrokes of aquamarine and violet, exudes both tranquility and theatricality, suggesting the heavy stillness of a summer afternoon before dusk. The color palette throughout is unconventional and emotionally driven. Purples, aquas, emerald greens, and blood reds do not attempt to mimic nature but rather interpret it through heightened feeling. The garden glows, not with photographic realism, but with the emotional memory of summer—the kind remembered by the senses more than the eyes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING ***\u003cbr\u003e* TITLE: \"The garden smells of summer\"\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.
