This original work «In August» was created by contemporary Russian artist Alexander Samokhvalov and is available for purchase online.
Alexander Samokhvalov’s painting “In August” is a picturesque embodiment of tranquility and lush blossoming characteristic of late summer in the Russian countryside. The artist masterfully conveys the feeling of nature’s maturity, when the greenery has reached its peak and the sky already hints at the approaching change of season.
The composition centers around a winding river occupying the middle of the canvas. The water appears deep, painted in rich blues and purples reflecting the sky and surrounding greenery. The river’s surface is calm, allowing clear, though slightly blurred, reflections of the trees to be seen.
The riverbanks are contrasting and full of life. In the foreground, the artist uses juicy, thick brushstrokes to depict grass and shrubs, among which patches of autumn shades—rust and purple—break through the greenery. This play of color in the foreground adds depth and texture to the painting.
The far bank is adorned with a panorama of the ancient town of Suzdal. Above the green hills rise the silhouettes of Orthodox churches with onion domes, painted in a light, almost pastel palette, creating a sense of historical perspective.
The sky is painted with the same love for color as the landscape: it is light blue, with voluminous white and pink clouds, typical of a clear but no longer scorching August day.
Samokhvalov’s «In August» is a hymn to the beauty of Russian nature in its most generous and peaceful period. The painting is executed in a realistic manner with pronounced post-impressionistic accents in the use of color and brushwork.
This painting can be hung on the wall in your apartment, house, office, restaurant, or hotel, and it will become a wonderful decoration for your interior.
