Spring landscape. In the foreground in the center is a small hollow filled with water. The mirror-like surface reflects the coast, sky and trees. In the middle ground, a wide, gentle slope with remnants of snow descending towards it, covered with patches of grass with blue flowers and rarely growing trees with light trunks. Shoots, edges of young branches and birches’ crowns are pinkish and golden.
Dmitry Ivanovich Blynsky (1932-1965), “Yesenin of Oryol”, a poet who praises the native Oryol lands in his poetry, noticed a similar state of spring nature:
It’s spring. Snowdrifts outside the gates.
And on the red slopes, by the water
Thawed patches are woven with snowdrops, -
Last snow
And the first flowers!
The picture seems to be woven from dim sun rays penetrating the entire space, under which the last snow is slowly melting. Early spring came, and primroses appeared on the thawed patches. And among the very first is the bluebell. For such an early appearance, it is also called the blue snowdrop. In fact, bluebell and snowdrop are different plants, although they are indeed very similar. Delicate blue leaves make their way to light and warmth, delighting us with bright colors.
They are echoed in color by the diagonal shadows falling from trees and bushes onto the surface of the spring earth. In the background there is a narrow strip of the water and its opposite shore. The horizon is closed by the thicket of the forest. A strip of azure sky in the upper part of the composition stretches from edge to edge of the picture, giving depth to the space, and conveys a feeling of light freshness and peace. The alternation of light spots of snow and tree trunks with cold cuts in the blue of the sky, rivers, curved shadows from trees, as well as purple spots of forest thickets create their own special rhythm of awakening nature.
The color of the picture is pinkish-bluish-ocher. The combination of colors gives the landscape freshness, nature awakens from a long winter sleep, waiting for renewal, everything breathes in spring. A joyful, light, airy feeling captures us when looking at this picture. We seem to bask in the warm rays of the sun, listening to music created by nature.
