ORIGINAL ARTS // VINTAGE OIL PICTURE Summer Forest / Landscape / Nature Art One of the species / Aerial painting / One of a kind / Ready to ship / Creation date - 1969. The title "Summer Evening in an Oak Grove" Materials: oil, canvas Dimensions: 61 cm x 81 cm (24 "x 31.90") In the picture “Summer Evening in an Oak Grove” in the foreground are large, decades-old trees. They have thick, powerful crowns and sprawling branches. These trees are oaks. It can be seen that the artist captured the beauty of a summer evening - there are green leaves on the trees, their branches form a lilac-gray haze that merges with the blue color of the summer sky. We see that the artist deliberately chose such an angle to fully show the "volume" of spring air, to convey the entire spectrum of colors, to create the viewer's sensation of not only color but also the smell, "movement" of the air. Trees occupy the entire foreground and middle plan of the picture. However, despite the fact that the main place in the picture is given to trees, they are only helped by the “main character” of the canvas - the summer sky, penetrating all the elements of the picture. The artist masterly managed to convey the play of light shimmering with “transparent” colors - blue, blue, white, lilac, gray. Thanks to the artist’s mastery, the impression is created that the picture is saturated with fresh air, we can feel it, breath in a light cool breeze saturated with aromas of nature. The artist depicted in his painting a “prosaic” landscape - a “slice” of Central Russian nature. However, his talent makes us see in this worldly fabulously beautiful and mysterious - a real miracle ...

Grace, subtlety, cheerfulness in a compartment with light tones of blue, beige, gray and an elastic smooth line distinguishes this picture. A genre scene where the main characters are a boy who leads a graceful horse - the figures of a man and an animal are painted with special care and truthfulness, as well as deliberately emphasized by a clear, almost continuous line.

Ancient works // Original painting Woman portrait /soldier mother /portrait of an old woman /decor for a house /unique/ready to send Title: "Victory Day" Year of foundation - 1970 Materials: sandpaper, pastel Dimensions: 73 cm x 65 cm (28.74"x 25,59")  Victoria Kostenko on her canvas “Victory Day” depicted the Victory Day. The author gave the foreground of the picture to the image of the mother. This old woman stands among a large number of joyful and cheerful people, holding a photograph of her son who has not returned from the war. Her gaze is filled with irreparable sadness. She realizes that expecting a son is already pointless, there is almost no chance of his return. But the mother’s heart does not want to believe, it clings to every opportunity, one chance out of a hundred. The mother's grief is enormous. But the canvas still carries a life-affirming force. The tragedy of a woman is endless, but hope dominates in her soul. He needs a frame to hold it in place, but I will let the next owner decide which type of frame and which color will look better.
