Alexei completed his painting ‘A Field in Molotino’ in 2006. In it, he depicts an autumnal rural scene from memories he had about his homeland. In the foreground, the artist has captured a field of winter crops.
These are crops that can survive through the winter, in order to continue growing in the spring and be harvested by the summer. The crops are half-covered by snow, and three horses and a calf are quietly grazing in the field. The middle ground is dominated by a large haystack, covered with birds. In the background, a small yellow copse is visible.
Alexei Tkachyov has managed to accurately convey the natural colors of late autumn in the central Russian region. Dense white clouds hang in the bluish-gray sky. The bright greenery lies next to soft blue tints in the snow. The ochre-colored copse and haystack add to the sense of the landscape’s richness.
The village of Molotino is within the Bryansk region, where Alexei Tkachyov was born and grew up. The artist’s grandfather, Afanasii Vasilievich, lived in this village.
