Fallen Leaf Canvas Art Monet A breath of open country

A breath of open country to carry home all year round

The light filters through the petals so they seem almost translucent

while the canopy above blazes in fresh

where birches and maples burn in shades of yellow

Fallen Leaf Canvas Art Monet A breath of open countryThis composition looks straight down onto a thick carpet of fallen oak leaves, layered one over another in endless overlapping curves. The palette runs through deep russet, rich chocolate brown, faded ochre and silvered grey, with the darker gaps between leaves pulling the eye into the depth of the pile. Every leaf wears the marks of the turning season, edges curled and surfaces softly weathered, painted with a fine attention to texture and detail.
