Post-Impressionist Night Studies
Brushstroke Frame
58 cobalt, teal and ochre brushstrokes ring the canvas edge, each wiggling; the whole frame slow-rotates while a cadmium glow breathes at center.

When to use it
Decorative border for hero sections, art/museum themes, or dark-background tiles needing post-impressionist, post-impressionist ambient texture.
When not to
Layouts needing a clear unobstructed border or full-bleed content — strokes occupy all four edges.
Working with an AI agent
Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:
Change stroke count to 72 by setting N=72, swap '#1c3f7c' to '#6b21a8' for purple, and slow rotation by changing 0.18 to 0.08.
Safe to edit
- stroke count (N=58)
- color palette (cols array)
- frame rotation speed (0.18 multiplier)
- glow breathe duration (3.6s)
- stroke size range (w: 14+16, h: 5+4)
Keep intact
- IIFE wrapper
- prefers-reduced-motion guard (REDUCED)
- visibilitychange pause/stop logic
- role=img + aria-label on stage div
Known limitations
- Background hardcoded to #0a1628 — must edit CSS to use on a light background
- Stroke positions randomized at parse time; each reload gives a slightly different layout

- Starry FlowUp to 420 cream and cobalt particle trails stream through curl-noise flow fields past glowing stars and a crescent moon, evoking a turbulent night sky.
- Impasto StrokesThick elliptical brushstrokes accumulate along a Perlin noise flow field in cobalt, cadmium, and ochre; after ~1100 strokes the canvas fades and repaints.
- Cypress FlameA dark green cypress silhouette writhes and twists upward like a flame against a cobalt evening sky, rendered in canvas with painterly swaying strokes.
- Sunflower RadialTwo rings of ochre and cadmium petals rotate slowly around a phyllotactic seed-head spiral; a CSS-animated DOM core pulses at center.
- Wheatfield WindGolden wheat stalks bend in a roving autonomous breeze via spring physics; crows scatter and arc overhead on a cobalt-to-amber gradient sky.
- Stir the SkyCobalt, cream, and navy particles follow a noise flow field stirred by a drifting vortex, accumulating into swirling, post-impressionist brushstroke trails.
