I fell in love with delicacy of this little landscape interior, with the sweet saplings, the dappled light through soft understorey, and particularly the interplay of the red-orange autumn leaves against the dark shadows and bright sunlit greens. I wanted multiple layers of growth, and the prettiness of warm and cool colours intertwined.

As such this piece became all about light and colour. And I couldn't help but lean on my inspiration in Fred McCubbin to lend a hand.

This is a striking piece from a distance, but the closer you get the more you see, just like in real life.
