Original artwork description:

This painting began on a crisp day by the lakeshore, where the path disappeared under a tunnel of color and the water reflected a cloudless sky. Quick plein air sketches and color swatches were taken on site; in the studio, transparent glazes built the luminous foliage, while linear strokes mapped the wooden planks to lead the eye into the scene.
Step into a perfect autumn afternoon: a quiet boardwalk curves beside a glass blue lake while a canopy of golden leaves glows overhead, inviting you to slow down and breathe. Rich, layered color and lively brushwork capture the rustle of trees and the sparkle of water, creating a radiant focal point that warms any room.
