A motif with tree trunks and winter light

The motif is built around the vertical tree trunks. They stand closely within the picture surface and create a calm rhythm. Some trunks are broad and striking. Others are narrower and lighter.

Between the trees are light fields. They may bring to mind winter light breaking through the forest. The fine light lines give the motif depth and movement.

The colours are subdued and cool. The beige and greyish tones give the motif calm. The purple shades add a soft contrast. The brown tree trunks bring the composition together and give the forest structure.

The motif does not have many small details. Instead, it is built on light, rhythm and colour fields. This gives the embroidery a clean and atmospheric expression.

Part of a series with four seasons

Winter Forest is part of a series with four versions. The series consists of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. All four motifs show the forest through a different season.
