Falling leaves in the autumn wind is Version 2 of my Leaves in the autumn wind painting.
Leaves in the Autumn Wind is an abstract acrylic painting in portrait format painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. The focus of the painting is an American red oak leaf in bright warm autumn colours of yellow, orange and red. The background is painted with loose, moving brushstrokes in cooler shades of blue, white, purple and pink to represent the fresh cool autumn wind. Individual autumn leaves can still be seen in the background, but they are only blurred to show the movement of the swirling leaves. The painting is painted with multiple layers of paint giving the background a textured and vibrant appearance.
After the painting was finished, I held it in my hand to look at it. I noticed that the picture also looks good when turned upside down or horizontally and each has a different, exciting visual effect. So I rotated the image three times and uploaded three more versions. So everyone can decide for themselves which version appeals to them and suits their rooms and furnishings. Or you can hang two or four versions together as a series on the wall...
Version 1 Portrait: Leaves in the autumn wind
