Traces, Oil, 12x12, Framed, 2023

In Traces, a handful of autumn leaves drift across a warm, softly layered background. Deep red, golden yellow, and touches of green mark different stages of the season, while the surrounding space gives each leaf a sense of suspension and movement.

I think of the leaves as traces of time passing—small remnants of a season already beginning to disappear. The painting is quiet and intimate, capturing the beauty of change through the simple forms and colors nature leaves behind.
