Autumn Awakens

Oils on Aluminium

In this painting, Paul explores his fascination with the changing colours of the landscape through the seasons. He captures a river flowing through a tranquil autumn woodland, where leaves have turned shades of vibrant orange and golden yellow.

Layer upon layer of thick oil paint creates the impression of a rich and dense woodland. The autumnal palette of the trees is reflected beautifully upon the river, painted with smooth sweeping brushmarks to achieve a sense of mirror-like clarity and fluidity.
