Warm Evening

The last ten minutes of sun on a table-top cliff, which turns orange, then rose. In front, a tree in blossom; at the foot of the cliff, a green field and a small village with glinting roofs. Tyunkin layers the cliff in amber and rust, paints the blossom in heavy dabs of cream over red-brown branches, and uses the deep green field to cool things down. It is one of his warmest oil paintings, and at 80 cm wide it holds a wall on its own.
