Description

Autumn depicts an ordinary but beautiful moment in the forest in late fall. Beech trees on a snowy hill form a dense pattern of shapes and textures. The thick, sensuous impasto and dramatic color relationships between the deep red-orange leaves and blue-purple trees makes for a dynamic tableau. A stream moves diagonally back through the forest while the autumn leaves float in space.
