"Birch Tree Sunset"
"Birch Tree Sunset" is a mixed media piece of soft pastel on a hand drawn digital background. A cluster of slender birch trunks fills the frame, their pale bark glowing with the warm light of evening. The trees stand close together, their black fissures and peeling curls of white bark rendered in delicate detail. Behind them, a sunset sky melts into hues of apricot and pink, its colors softly reflected on the smooth birch surfaces.
In the distance, a line of dark pine trees creates a jagged silhouette against the luminous sky. The forest floor between the birches and pines is dappled with long shadows and fading golden light, suggesting fallen leaves and soft moss. The close cropping of the birch trunks gives the scene an intimate, immersive quality, as if the viewer stands within the grove themselves.
