This original artwork “At the forest lake” was created by the contemporary Russian artist Ekaterina Kebal  and is available for sale online

Ekaterina Kebal’s painting “At the Forest Lake” is a calm and contemplative landscape, capturing the quiet beauty of a forest lake on a cloudy day. The artist masterfully conveys an atmosphere of tranquility and peace, creating an immersive effect in the world of nature.

The foreground of the painting is occupied by the lake shore, overgrown with thick grass and bushes. The plants are depicted in close-up, allowing the viewer to examine their form and texture. The green hues of the grass and bushes vary from dark to light, creating a sense of volume and depth. In some places, drops of water are visible, enhancing the feeling of dampness and freshness. The shore appears somewhat boggy, which adds realism to the landscape.

The central place in the composition is taken by the image of the forest lake. The water appears dark and calm, without any signs of ripples. Trees and the sky are reflected on the water’s surface, creating a mirror effect and adding liveliness to the landscape. The reflections are not exact copies of the objects, but rather blurred patches of light and shadow, which gives the painting lyricism and mystery.

Beyond the lake rises a forest, consisting of trees of various species. Their foliage forms a dense green mass that stretches to the horizon. The trees are not depicted in detail, but at the same time, they create a sense of depth and perspective. The artist uses various shades of green, brown, and gray to convey the volume and texture of the foliage. The forest appears dense and impenetrable, which emphasizes the secluded nature of the place.

The sky in the painting is depicted in muted gray and blue tones, which conveys the atmosphere of an overcast day. The absence of the sun creates a feeling of calm and tranquility. Light clouds are visible in the sky, which do not completely obscure it. The sky appears heavy and low, which enhances the feeling of dampness and coolness.

The artist uses the technique of Impressionism, focusing on conveying the overall impression of what is seen, rather than on detailed rendering of each object. Broad, free brushstrokes create a sense of movement and liveliness, as if the wind is rustling the grass and rain is falling on the surface of the lake.

Overall, the plot of the painting conveys a feeling of quiet sadness, tranquility, and unity with nature. The painting seems to invite the viewer to pause for a moment and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding world, to feel the coolness of the damp air, and to hear the quiet lapping of the water. This canvas is an ode to the beauty of a simple forest landscape, where there is nothing superfluous, only nature in all its splendor. It seems to remind us of the need to treat nature with care and that in it one can find solace and peace.
