This atmospheric watercolour by R. Tielemans, dated 2018, captures a serene forest edge in a misty landscape. The composition plays subtly with contrasts: on the left, warm, earthy tones of yellow, red and brown dominate the vegetation, while on the right, a calm, icy emptiness leads the eye to the horizon.

Dark tree trunks stand out sharply against the light background, and their green-coloured foliage seems to dissolve gently in the haze. The background is deliberately kept vague, with misty blue and purple hues suggesting depth and evoking the illusion of a vast, silent forest. The paint has been applied loosely and spontaneously, with smooth transitions and wet-on-wet techniques creating a dreamy atmosphere.

 The reflection of water or snow on the right side enhances the sense of calm and contemplation. This painting breathes silence and introspection, inviting the viewer to take a moment to contemplate the subtle beauty of a winter morning in nature.
