Small Works series
"Fall Leaves, Maine 1" captures the simple joy of collecting leaves in the Maine woods, transforming a common human experience into a vibrant piece of art. The artist magnifies nature's beauty through layers of expressive gouache and watercolor, intensifying the colors of the foliage. A vintage Maine map is collaged into the composition, providing earthy browns for the stem and branching veins.
The contemporary painting incorporates found objects and paper to form a mixed media collage that is both colorful and expressive. The floral subject is depicted in a figurative style with warm colors, reminiscent of the fleeting beauty of fall.
This small painting is perfect for adding a touch of nature to any room. Its size allows for versatile placement, perhaps on a desk, shelf, or gallery wall. Consider pairing it with its companion piece, "Fall Leaves, Maine 2," to create a delightful diptych.
