Cynthia Kelly Overall is known for her soft, luminous oil paintings of pastoral scenes. Painted

in her unique style, the influences of old masters are apparent in her technique and lighting.

Overall recently traveled to the Carpathian Mountains in Ukraine where she observed the rural

landscape and culture of farmers and their families, returning with a collection of beautiful

paintings reflecting the essence of the lives of the people in this rural area.

Artist Statement

“I chose the western side of the Ukraine for two reasons. The first reason was for a bit of time

travel to when farmers used horses, scythes, and wooden rakes as their main tools.

The second reason is to show a regional family’s dependence on each other and their few

animals.

Their ways of life have not changed in decades . . .

Lovely, but extremely raw in their daily maintenance to live.

It was indeed an honor to witness and paint these hard working souls.” - Cynthia Kelly Overall
