Autumn Morning, Jaren

Høstmorgen, Jaren – 1999

Title Translation: Autumn Morning, Jaren
Medium: Watercolour on paper
Signature: Signed “Sigurd Bergmann”

In Høstmorgen, Jaren, Sigurd Bergmann invites us to witness the quiet grandeur of autumn awakening in the rural landscape of Jaren. The foreground is richly layered with deep siennas, burnt umbers, and hints of crimson—a tapestry of moor and heather brushed in earthy tones. As the eye moves across the painting, the mood lifts into a soft golden horizon, where two trees, kissed by morning light, signal the arrival of a new day.

The misty pink clouds and crisp blue sky overhead create a striking yet gentle contrast, infusing the composition with calm energy. It’s a scene that feels both rooted and ethereal—a grounded place painted from memory, emotion, and an unmistakable love for the land.
