Evening on the Dnieper

Sailing boats and yachts moored at a small marina on the Dnieper at sunset. The masts stand against a peach and lilac sky, and the city is a faint line on the horizon.

Rychkov lays down the evening light in transparent watercolor washes of apricot and pale blue and gives the boats crisp outlines with small touches of red. The calm water repeats the sky. A quiet portrait of the river that runs through Kyiv.
