Spring In Silver

Spring In Silver is exactly that: a village lane in early spring painted almost entirely in pearl gray, cream and pale ochre, with a blossoming tree spilling pink and white over the wall at upper left and a green door halfway down.

The road and walls are painted in thick oil strokes that follow the slope of the street. The light is overcast and even, with no hard shadows.

At 80 × 70 cm it is one of Tyunkin's larger canvases, and its quiet palette makes it easy to live with.
