Autumn light
An atmospheric still life in which a robust pumpkin, softly lit by warm autumn light, shares the stage with a young dried branch of a date palm.
These branches are decorative and can be used either fresh or dried. Fresh date branches have green fruits, which fade to the purple/grey colour when dried.
The dark background highlights the texture and colours, while the subtle light reflections give it an almost picturesque, classic look. An ode to the richness and tranquillity of autumn.
Size recommendation:
- For a wall like the one in your photo: 105 x 70 cm or 120 x 80 cm gives plenty of impact without being overpowering.
- If you want a statement piece, go for 150 x 100 cm.
Material advice:
- Canvas- For a soft, painterly look that enhances warm tones.
- Acrylic glass- Gives deep colours, high contrast and a modern look.
- Aluminium - Sleek, matt finish with luxurious look; ideal for minimalist interiors.
