October Morning in Jaren

Oktobermorgen i Jaren – 2004

Medium: Watercolour on cold-pressed paper
Signature: Signed "Sigurd Bergmann"

Soft as a breath and warm as autumn's first golden light, Oktobermorgen i Jaren captures the beauty of stillness just as day breaks over the countryside. Sigurd Bergmann paints with restraint and subtlety, allowing warm siennas, ochres, and soft umbers to mingle across the page like morning mist rising from the earth.

The landscape is dreamlike, dissolving into abstraction — yet still grounded in the rolling farmlands and distant treelines of Jaren. There’s a poetic vagueness to the forms, like memory slowly waking up. Bergmann’s palette here is minimal, yet emotionally charged — each layer of diluted pigment suggesting crisp air, damp soil, and the hush of nature before the sun fully arrives.

This is a contemplative piece — a whisper rather than a shout — ideal for viewers drawn to soft landscapes, natural warmth, and atmospheric works that invite reflection.
