The background washes across the paper in loose tan, green, and violet sweeps—soft, fluid layers that bleed gently into one another. The tan gives it an earthy warmth, while the greens and purples drift in like shifting forest light, creating a moody undertone without becoming heavy.
In front of that haze, a cluster of birch trees rises with lively contrast. Each one painted with playful, broken strokes that echo the texture of real birch bark but stay firmly in the realm of impressionism. The colors feel alive, but the softness of the washes and the slight coolness of the purples give the whole piece a quiet, contemplative energy, like a forest just before rain or just after a thought you can’t quite name.
This is an original watercolor. Painted on 100% cotton, cold pressed watercolor paper. Size is 11.5 × 15”. Just a quick note: this listing is for the watercolor painting only. The frame shown in the photos is not included.”
