In 1907, at the beginning of his artistic career, P. Kalpokas found the rivulet to be a symbol of impermanence, and often resorted to it as he searched for the nuances of the mood. The artist painted many winter and springtime rivulets, and as in the language of lyrics, they always meant perennial life and the motion of nature. One of his first painted rivulets was displayed at the Secession exhibition in Munich and published in the contemporary German press. Most often P. Kalpokas painted winter scenes and disobedient, cold-resistant rivulets. The range of warm colours in such pictures foretells the coming of the spring. Text authors Nijolė Tumėnienė, Dalia Tarandaitė.
