Post-Impressionist Night Studies
Wheatfield Wind
Golden wheat stalks bend in a roving autonomous breeze via spring physics; crows scatter and arc overhead on a cobalt-to-amber gradient sky.

When to use it
Art-themed hero backgrounds, nature or impressionism aesthetics, ambient screensaver-style displays.
When not to
Contexts requiring legible text overlays — the animated stalks and sky consume visual focus. Low-end devices may stutter with 120 stalk spring updates per frame.
Working with an AI agent
Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:
Increase stalk count to 180 by changing the cols cap from 120 to 180, shift wheat color to harvest orange by replacing '#f2c10b' with '#e07a10', and slow the breeze cycle by changing autoP*0.7 to autoP*0.4.
Safe to edit
- stalk count cap (Math.min(120, ...))
- wheat colors (three hex values in c: property)
- breeze roving speed (autoP*0.7)
- wind sway amplitude (0.9 influence multiplier)
- crow scatter interval (5.2 seconds)
- sky gradient color stops

Known limitations
- No pointer/touch interactivity — breeze is fully autonomous
- Crow count capped at 40 but crows only spawn when fewer than 4 exist, so flock stays sparse
- Background color hardcoded in CSS body (#7a5f2e) — must edit both CSS and sky gradient to retheme
More Post-Impressionist Night Studies components
- 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.
- Stir the SkyCobalt, cream, and navy particles follow a noise flow field stirred by a drifting vortex, accumulating into swirling, post-impressionist brushstroke trails.
- Brushstroke Frame58 cobalt, teal and ochre brushstrokes ring the canvas edge, each wiggling; the whole frame slow-rotates while a cadmium glow breathes at center.
