Birches in April

The original painting "Birches in April" is an example of a contemporary lyrical landscape painting in pastel on primed paper. Natalia Balashova uses warm and cool tones to convey the freshness of the April sky and the first timid leaves of the birch trees. Subtle strokes and multi-layered pastel application create an airy effect and the movement of the branches—the work seems to breathe and change its mood depending on the lighting.
This pastel work, measuring 60 x 40 cm, looks beautiful in both a bright, minimalist interior and a cozy living room. It easily fits into a set of several works, becoming a focal point above a sofa or in a study. We recommend framing it in a simple frame with a mat to highlight the texture of the paper and the softness of the pastel transitions.
