Birch trees at sunset in September (2025) Original Oil Painting by Simon Kozhin

This landscape captures the fleeting essence of autumn through a vibrant, textured lens painted by the artist from life in Tsaritsyno Park in 2025. Slender white birch trees stand as luminous vertical accents against a sea of gold and emerald. Every stroke of the brush feels intentional and rhythmic. The artist employs a thick impasto technique to build physical depth on the canvas. Light filters through the canopy in shimmering patches of pale yellow and ochre. These bright highlights contrast with the cool shadows of the forest floor. The composition guides the eye deeper into the woodland, evoking a sense of quiet contemplation. A harmonious palette of greens and ambers describes the transition of the seasons. The atmosphere is one of serene stillness and organic warmth. Bold textures create a tactile surface that mimics the roughness of bark and the softness of fallen leaves. This artwork translates a natural moment into a vivid emotional experience. The scene is anchored by a sturdy trunk in the foreground, grounding the ethereal quality of the light. Small dabs of pigment suggest the movement of wind through the foliage. The balance between the stark white bark and the saturated background creates a striking visual tension.
