Sunny Day in the Forest

Soldag i skogen (1994)

Watercolour on paper
Sigurd Bergmann

In Soldag i skogen — Sunny Day in the Forest — Sigurd Bergmann invites us into a sun-drenched woodland where light dances across treetops and warm hues shimmer across the clearing. Painted in 1994, this watercolour captures not just a landscape, but a feeling — the peaceful fullness of being in the forest on a quiet summer day.

Lush greens blend with golden earth tones, and dappled sunlight spills softly through the foliage. The brushwork is loose and atmospheric, blurring the line between what’s seen and what’s felt. Distant red accents suggest hidden cabins or hikers passing through — subtle reminders of life moving gently within the stillness.

This piece radiates serenity and lightness, a timeless tribute to the beauty of simple moments in nature. As with so many of Sigurd’s works, it feels less like a painting and more like a memory — held gently in colour and sky.
