Description
Three autumn trees in fiery red-orange hues stand in a row against a light grey sky — a dark horizontal band separates them from the warm-orange ground, flooded with white light. The composition is classic and balanced, yet the applications of paint are expressive and impasto: the crowns are painted with dense, short strokes, the earth laid on with a palette knife in thick layers. A white patch of light in the foreground gives the impression of sun reflecting off a wet or dewy surface. The sky is grey and diffuse, which heightens the warmth of the autumn foliage. A painting for a living room or dining room that brings quiet landscape beauty and an autumnal mood into the space.
