Venetian Dusk, Oil Painting

2022

Artist Comments
The impressionist painting captures the serene beauty of Venice at dusk. A tranquil canal reflects the soft glow of twilight, while flower-filled balconies and historic buildings frame the scene. Boats rest quietly in the still waters, enhancing the peaceful charm. Painted with loose brushwork and palette knife techniques, the textured composition evokes the city’s timeless allure. Touches of warm, muted tones create a romantic atmosphere, immersing the viewer in the quiet magic of the moment.

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.
