A path of flat stepping stones leads along the edge of a still pond and into a forest ablaze with autumn color. White birches stand out against a tapestry of red, gold, and deep green, and the trail disappears gently into the trees.
Developed in the studio with soft, painterly brushwork, the image captures the quiet invitation of a New England woodland in fall. It is a place to slow down and listen, where the turning leaves and still water seem to speak in hushed tones of change and renewal.
