Painting description

In the painting we see a small group of hens sitting on a wooden bench in the glow of warm light. Their feathers shimmer with a mix of browns and creamy hues, with a contrasting accent provided by their red combs. The background is gently blurred, which highlights the central composition with the tranquil charm of a rural yard. The artist has used the impasto technique, lending texture and vivid detailing to the birds’ forms. The atmosphere radiating from the painting is idyllic, bringing to mind a lazy afternoon in the countryside. These are the kinds of moments when time flows more slowly. The mood of this scene can be summed up in a single word: "nostalgia." It may evoke in the viewer a sense of calm and bliss, a bit like the taste of homemade cake. The painting techniques used make the image feel alive; you can see the movement of the brush and the dynamism of the moment. As befits an expressionist work, the form is slightly simplified, which adds charm and character. The hens look so pleasantly relaxed that you can almost feel their contentment. Looking at this painting brings back memories of my childhood, when I would run around my grandparents’ yard, jumping over puddles and watching the farm animals. To me, these hens are the guardians of those moments, each with its own story to tell. Oh yes, this painting has certainly stolen my heart.
