With thick, deliberate impasto strokes and a boldly unconventional palette, the artist transforms a simple countryside moment into a vivid and emotionally charged impression. At the center of the painting stands an old, weathered house, its form partially obscured by foliage and shadows. The structure, seemingly built of wood or stone, is depicted in an array of violet, blue, and indigo tones, with hints of warm ochre and burnt sienna peeking through. The paint is laid thick, giving the walls and roof a sculptural quality that speaks of age, erosion, and resilience. The roof slants downward, heavy with time, textured with multiple overlapping strokes that give it the appearance of shingles or thatch, perhaps moss-covered. A single window draws the viewer’s attention. It is outlined in turquoise green, standing out sharply against the purple walls. Within its frame, a deep burgundy curtain is just visible, suggesting the warmth and memory of life within. Though no figure is present in the window or outdoors, the painting is charged with the feeling that someone was recently there—or still is. The house does not feel abandoned but simply resting, quiet and observant. To the right, a gnarled tree reaches toward the roofline, its bark rendered in dense strokes of violet, umber, and sienna, as if it too shares in the history of the dwelling. Its branches, mostly bare, seem to hover like a protective hand over the home. The tree’s roots disappear into a lush garden or overgrown space that fills the foreground, made up of wild, tangled strokes of greens, blues, and turquoise. This undergrowth dominates the lower half of the painting, alive with motion and texture, possibly a grazing area for animals or a once-tended garden now surrendered to nature. The suggestion of grazing, as hinted by the title, is subtly integrated. In the shadowed lower foreground, an area of contrasting white and soft gray may represent a goat or sheep lying peacefully amidst the thick foliage. Its form is not sharply defined, instead blending into its surroundings as if it belongs wholly to them. This gentle presence, almost camouflaged, adds life to the scene and deepens the emotional atmosphere—a reminder of coexistence, of a bond between home, land, and animal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING ***\u003cbr\u003e* TITLE: \"Graze near the house\"\u003cbr\u003e* ARTISTS: Oleksiy Ivanyuk\u003cbr\u003e* SIZE: 30x35 cm\/'11.81x13.77 inches'\u003cbr\u003e* MEDIUM: oil, canvas\u003cbr\u003e* HAND PAINTED: Original painting from our collection\u003cbr\u003e* CONDITION: Photos provide accurate information about the product.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the artist: Born March 13, 1954, in the city of Piryatin, Poltava region.
