About this artwork+
This painting shows a tranquil lake scene on a sunny day. A group of sailboats is tethered near the shore, surrounded by lush green trees. Their reflections shimmer in the rippling water, which is painted with strokes of blue and green. The sky peeks through the leaves, adding bits of white and light blue above. Alexander Mikhaylov uses bold, clear strokes in "Summer Water." His style feels vivid and refreshing. Every brushstroke adds to the lively texture of both the foliage and the water. The artist perfectly captures a serene summer moment by the water.
