A cluster of weathered wooden cottages leans together above a still pond, their steep roofs catching warm ochre light against a heavy, clouded sky. Pavel Filin works the paint in thick palette-knife strokes, letting the deep browns and reds of the huts play against the cool blue of the water, while a few ducks drift near the bank. This original oil painting carries the quiet, slightly melancholic mood of a rural village at day's end, and can be viewed in person at Art Gallery Teplice.
