Morning on the Seryona River

In this piece, I poured the serene glow of early morning onto the canvas, blending soft impressionistic brushstrokes with vivid realism to capture nature’s tranquil embrace. The gentle river invites calm, while the warm earth tones evoke peaceful reflection. This painting brings a soothing energy, transforming any space into a sanctuary of quiet beauty and gentle light.
The motive that I painted from the window of the monastery of the Savior Not Made by Hands in Klykovo on an early April morning. These gentle combinations of colors and sfumato in the distance, immersed everything in a soft haze.
