A richly textured composition that captures the quiet poetry of the woodland floor at the turning of the year. Layers of fallen leaves, twisted twigs, rose hips, and golden ferns are delicately arranged and slightly raised from the mount, allowing soft shadows to form and giving the piece a sculptural presence. Each element — from the brittle edges of the maple leaves to the soft sheen of acorns — is rendered with care, drawing the eye into a tapestry of deep russets, ochres, and mossy greens. Set against a deep green surround and enclosed in a weathered wooden frame with a silvered patina, the overall effect is immersive and organic — a serene celebration of nature’s fading glory, held still in time.
