Original artwork description:

“Reflections of Autumn” is a watercolor landscape that captures the quiet state of late autumn, a time when nature seems to pause in anticipation of winter. The scene shows a small forest clearing set against a distant woodland, with a lake stretching out in the foreground.
The central focus of the painting lies in the reflections on the water. The distant forest appears softly blurred in the lake’s surface, while the trees of the clearing are reflected with clearer, sharper silhouettes. The trees stand bare, stripped of their leaves—vulnerable in appearance, yet strong and resilient as they face the coming cold.
Above them, the sky is heavy with gray tones, breathing with the sense of approaching bad weather. Everything feels still, as if frozen in a moment of waiting for warmth to return. The muted colors and transparent washes typical of watercolor enhance this feeling of silence and calm.
High in the sky, birds are flying away, hurrying to find shelter and warmth elsewhere. Their movement contrasts with the stillness below, emphasizing the transitional nature of this season. The painting reflects not only the autumn landscape, but also a quiet, thoughtful mood—gentle, restrained, and full of reflection.
