Golden autumn by Sonja Lechner

Autumn is moving into the country. Nature wears her splendid dress, begins to shine golden! The structures of the landscape are clear, the air is clear too. Everything shines. Nevertheless, the trees and the sky announce the approach of winter.

Acrylic painting with gold and autumn colours. The trees stand like a family on the horizon. Different patterns testify to the diversity, make the fields shine. Inspiration in my home Lower Austria, where gentle hills meet rough rocks. Where fields lie next to forests. Where wine ripens in terraces. Where there is variety and contrast. And yet, everything blends into a harmonious whole! It is the hills of the Wachau that inspired me to create this image. When autumn illuminates the vines with its animal-like sun. Conjures up this unique glow on their leaves.

For me, painting has been language, relaxation and a fountain of energy at the same time since childhood.
At the easel I forget the time around me, recharge my batteries and enjoy every second of the creative process. I can lose myself in two things: looking at nature and painting! I love both equally and so it's no surprise that nature themes are always to be found in my motifs. Not as in a photograph, but as my interpretation. Honoré de Balzac said it: "It is not the task of art to copy nature, but to express it!"
In this sense, here you will find my interpretations of the world around me or deep inside me! I invite you to join me on my journey! "Every painting is more or less a study of the character of the person who painted it", quote Caspar David Friedrich.
