The second lies on the grass and carefully reads a book. Through the crown of trees, sun glare falls into the clearing. The boys are dressed in jeans and light summer shirts. They took off their shoes so as not to interfere with the gentle touch of warm grass. Next to the young men lies their faithful friend - a dog. Her tail is down and her face is on the grass. On one ear there is a dark spot or is it a shadow from a tree, the nose is black, A little off, on the ground, you can see domestic birds: geese pinch the green grass and look for something on the ground.

It depicts three women playing the Ukrainian national musical instrument - bandura against the background of flowering summer trees  The silence, tranquility of nature and the summer garden flow from the picture to the viewer. The artist depicted the hot summer season in the picture. On women who went for a walk, light, seemingly weightless cotton dresses in puffy skirts. The figures of women, although the central characters of this painting, do not interfere with showing the artist the main thing - the beauty and perfection of a summer day, nature. Therefore, although the figures are written quite clearly, the artist did not pay much attention to details. The main mood in the film " Music in the Garden" is the harmony between the flourishing of nature and the images of young women in her bosom. The weather is wonderful, the music is beautiful. The images of women and nature are surprisingly harmoniously combined in this picture. 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.
