About this work

This painting shows a quiet forest scene after rain. Tall birch trees stand in the center, their white bark glowing against green leaves. The ground is damp, with patches of moss and fallen branches. Light filters through the trees, softening the edges of the trunks and creating a misty effect in the background. The artist focused on the play of light and shadow, making the scene feel peaceful and a little mysterious. The colors are muted—greens, grays, and browns—with just a hint of blue in the distant sky.
