Autumn Winds captures the essence of fall in motion — the moment when a gentle gust stirs the red and yellow leaves on a lone tree, sending them swirling through the air. For this piece, I worked exclusively with acrylic paint and various sponges, letting their texture guide the flow of the foliage and the rhythm of the scene. The tree stands grounded, but the energy around it is lively and dynamic, echoing the quiet excitement of seasonal change. It's a painting that feels both fleeting and timeless — much like autumn itself.
