Description
Autumn I – three trees above gold water
Painting on canvas lines three red-orange trees along a dark band of water and sets them under a pale blue sky, the middle one taller so the row never hardens into a fence — decorative painting whose calm comes from that one deliberate irregularity. In front of the trees an ochre field opens with a bright reflection down its centre.
Technique and texture
The sky is worked with a knife into horizontal layers, chipped in places so grey shows under the white. The crowns are built from many small dabs of the brush and never close into a single plane. The foreground field is the most granular passage on the canvas, taken almost to sand and then smoothed again where the reflection runs.
The motif
The dark band behind the trees is loaded with small light tones that behave like glints on water. The bright reflection in the foreground is the only light source in the lower half and it pulls the eye into the depth of the field. The trunks are thin and pale, and they keep the row transparent.
Setting and placement
The horizontal division into sky, water and field gives the canvas a settled axis, which is why it reads as restful above a sofa. Warm ochres tie it to timber and leather — a living room, a dining room, an office.

Autumn I above a sofa, bed or sideboard
The painting Autumn I is offered in 14 square sizes, from 40 x 40 to 180 x 180 cm. Let the row of three red-orange trees span about two thirds of the furniture below it. Over a sofa around 200 cm wide that means 130 x 130 cm, over a double bed of 160–180 cm 110 x 110 or 120 x 120 cm, and over a 150 cm sideboard 100 x 100 cm. In a hallway the ochre field and its bright reflection read clearly at 60 x 60 or 70 x 70 cm.
Pick YES under Stretcher and Autumn I arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. A frame for the three trees by the dark water is not included, since the Frame menu opens at Without frame and a frame is added only if you want it. Delivery takes 15–45 days. Its knife-worked sky and brush-dabbed crowns mean Autumn I is hand-painted, not printed.
Is Autumn I the right square autumn landscape with trees by water for above a sofa?
Yes, Autumn I is a calm square autumn landscape: three red-orange trees stand in a row along a dark band of water under a pale blue sky, the middle one taller so the row never hardens into a fence, and in front an ochre field opens with a bright reflection down its centre. The horizontal division into sky, water and field gives Autumn I a settled axis, so it belongs above a sofa, a double bed, a sideboard or in an office.
How is Autumn I painted by hand?
Autumn I is hand-painted by our painters: the sky is worked with a palette knife in horizontal layers, chipped in places so grey shows through, the crowns are built from small dabs of the brush, and the field in front is made granular almost like sand and smoothed only where the reflection runs. When Autumn I is finished, we send you a photograph of it to approve, then ship it.
How does Autumn I arrive: rolled, stretched or framed?
We ship Autumn I the way you choose: rolled, stretched on a 2.5 cm deep wooden stretcher, or framed. Autumn I is stretched and framed in our workshop in Slovenia. Autumn I arrives ready to hang when stretched, and a rolled Autumn I suits squares up to 180 x 180 cm. A natural wood frame suits the warm ochre tones.
How should I hang and care for Autumn I?
Keep the band of water in Autumn I a little below eye level, with the centre of the painting about 150 cm from the floor; above a sofa, leave 20 to 30 cm to the bottom edge of Autumn I. Warm ochre goes with wood and leather. Clean the granular field of Autumn I with a soft dry brush, without water.
Is Autumn I a good gift?
Autumn I is a fine gift for a new house, a retirement or someone who loves autumn and quiet landscapes; 40 x 40 and 60 x 60 cm also fit a smaller wall. If you are not sure which size of Autumn I is right, give a gift voucher.
