Summer Dreams, Oil Painting

2024

Artist Comments
This evocative impressionist painting captures the essence of a garden by the pond. With loose brushwork and bold palette knife techniques, this piece exudes a dreamy, semi-abstract quality. Rich textures and a harmonious blend of pinks and blues create depth and movement, inviting the viewer into a tranquil, almost otherworldly place.

About the Artist
Artist Oksana Johnson paints serene cities and breathtaking natural vistas with soft painterly strokes and delicate depictions of light—embodying the tradition of impressionism in the style's truest sense. "I am constantly striving to express more accurately the happiness and joy I feel while trying to capture the beauty of the world and its special moments," says Oksana. She studied with exceptional artists she admired in the US and Europe. Oksana often paints plein air but mainly works in her home studio, using various brushes, palette knives, and sometimes her hands to give life to her textured presentations. Reading, traveling, and spending time with her loving family help her unwind and keep her inspired. Oksana has participated in numerous local and international group shows, with one of her pieces receiving a first-place award from the Society of Western Artists.
