Trio

SOLD
Oli on Canvas
100cm x 60cm


Trio is a painting of three virile horses galloping in the Ukrainian steppes. Long format of the painting compliments wide and wild steppes. Sun is scourging as it usually is in the prairies. Hey and dry grass overlap with green as horses ride over without paying any attention to it.
In an easy and confident manner two horses on the left stroll on the field, whereas a horse on the right tries to bud in. His black and gorgeous grove reflects his aggressive stance toward a pair.
Small watercolour on the left is the original sketch I used to paint "Trio".

In the Fields or Hard at Work

$700
Oil on Canvas
80cm x 80cm
This paintng depicts in an abstact way a scenery from Ukraine. Windmills, strongly entrenched on the horizon, grind wheat hard while the Ukrainian family rests near by. As in all of my paintings, I try to combine power, movement and cultural traits from the past.
