Клин. Дом П.И. Чайковского. Этюд. 1942

Vitold Byalynitsky-Birulya made this painting, "Klin. Tchaikovsky's House. Study," with oil on canvas, and you can tell he’s thinking about painting as a process. I really like the way the colors pull you in. The greens and browns are earthy, like the path is welcoming you home, and the way the paint sits on the canvas. Look at the light hitting the leaves, and the texture, it's almost like he's sculpting with paint! It feels like a memory, not super sharp, kind of dreamlike. The path isn't perfectly straight and the trees aren't evenly spaced. This is where the magic happens, the whole thing feels really lived-in, you know? Like a real place, not just some postcard image. This reminds me of Corot, that feeling of being right there, in the thick of it, but it's totally his own. Anyway, that's what I see. What about you?
