Continuing his journey through the Russian countryside, the artist is impressed by the beauty of nature and the uniqueness of the Russian people. In these years Eugene Gradova wrote several small oil paintings using various composition styles. One of the artist's most significant works at this time is undoubtedly the painting Quiet Evening - 33x50sm.. The composition of this picture is based on the comparison of similar shapes and lines. Intent on moving away from the detailed drawing, the artist tries to draw the attention of the viewer to subtle, elegant forms and lines, while comparing the nature and creation of man. At first glance, a boring plot, fascinates with its calm and the silence of a summer evening in the russian outback. Yellow green colors have lost their power and only the reflection of the motionless mirror of river attracts the view's eye. This painting has a magical property of attracting the eye and hold on the viewer until he enjoys the tranquility of a quiet evening in the Russian village. The plot of this picture is perfect for decorating the living room, working cabinet, and will also be a profitable investment in art.
