There is a brief moment in the fall when the trees seem to hold onto the light even as the storm clouds gather. "Autumn’s Edge" captures that high-contrast transition—the brilliant, fiery gold of the leaves set against a deep, heavy sky.
 
Rendered in a mix of acrylic and oil, this 11x14 piece focuses on that spark of brightness reflected in the cool, moving water of the creek. It’s a reminder that even when the atmosphere turns dark and cool, there is still warmth and color to be found if you know where to look.
