Original artwork description:

The watercolor landscape titled “In the Forest a Fir Tree Was Born” is filled with soft light and the atmosphere of a winter wonderland. The title is inspired by a beloved Russian New Year’s song that instantly evokes warm memories of childhood performances, joyful dancing around the tree, and a sense of magic in the air.
In the foreground stands a small but graceful and fluffy young fir tree, growing on a sunny, snow-covered forest glade. Its branches are gently wrapped in soft white snow, as if adorned with the first, natural winter decorations. The little tree appears young and full of life, as if it’s curiously and joyfully greeting the world into which it has just been “born.”
In the distance, the silhouettes of taller firs and birches can be seen—like older brothers and sisters, quietly watching over the young forest beauty.
The entire scene is filled with peace and a solemn stillness, as if nature itself is holding its breath, gazing at the little fir tree already dressed for a celebration in her natural woodland attire. No artificial ornaments—just snow, light, and beauty.
This watercolor landscape is not just a winter scene, but a gentle and poetic illustration of a cherished song, where not only a fir tree is born, but also the feeling of magic drawing near.
