Description
White Birches – a grove in a cracked fresco
A white birch grove painted like an antique fresco: five to six main white trunks rise the full height, the strongest cluster left of centre, single trunks at the centre and in the right third, and from them cracked veins spread like twigs – the whole surface is webbed with a fine net of cracks.
Technique & Texture
Across the upper third lies a soft turquoise haze, strongest at the top centre and to the right. This is a hand-painted painting on canvas – the cracks are not an effect but a real crust of the layer, which gives the grove its age.
The Motif
Among the branches is scattered the foliage of two worlds: gold-orange flecks and an equal scatter of dark navy blue ones – warm and cool leaves of the same forest. The lower third fades into a beige-white mist with grey shadows between the trunks, where the grove withdraws into memory.
Styling & Placement
Poetic wall wall art for bedrooms, living rooms and waiting rooms; birches calm like few other motifs, and the cracked texture adds a noble age to them. Blossom and autumn at once.

The White Birches painting: sizes, stretcher and frame for the cracked birch grove
The White Birches painting comes in 14 square sizes, from 40 x 40 to 180 x 180 cm. Over a 200 cm sofa, choose 130 x 130 cm, about two thirds of the sofa width. Above a bed 160–180 cm wide, pick 110 x 110 or 120 x 120 cm. For a 150 cm sideboard choose 100 x 100 cm, and for a hallway 60 x 60 cm. The first photograph shows the White Birches painting in a pale frame above a blue sofa, and the second photograph shows the same painting above a white marble fireplace between bookshelves.
Choose YES in the Stretcher menu and the White Birches canvas arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. A frame is optional: for the White Birches painting the Frame menu starts at “Without frame”. Delivery takes 15–45 days. From the cracked crust to the navy flecks, the whole White Birches painting is hand-painted in tactile relief, so it is not a print.
Questions about the White Birches painting
Which size of the White Birches painting fits above a double bed?
For a bed 160–180 cm wide, choose 110 x 110 or 120 x 120 cm, so the cracked birch grove stays a little narrower than the headboard.
Does the White Birches painting arrive ready to hang?
Yes: with YES chosen in the Stretcher menu, the canvas with the white trunks comes stretched on a wooden stretcher.
Can I order the White Birches painting in a size that is not among the 14 listed?
Yes, the cracked birch grove can be made to order to your measurements; send a request through our custom paintings page.
Is the White Birches painting a print?
No: the web of cracks, the white trunks and the leaf flecks are applied by hand in layers, so the cracks are a real crust of paint, not a printed effect.
