Autumn Forest Painting

Autumn forest painting

Make room for this autumn forest painting of strong symbolism. It presents an orange-colored forest, a unique hue that characterizes faltering trees during the autumn season. But these trees do not wither in vain – their fallen leaves become the humus that nourishes the sprouts of tomorrow. These young plants, in turn, will be covered with new buds, harbingers of the coming spring.

The most explicit symbol of growth, seasonal death, and rebirth is a tree, which has consistently signified more than just part of a landscape. From ancient times, it’s been an integral part of folklore, and nowadays, for some ethnic groups, a tree is a totem, a distant mystical ancestor of a tribe. Sacred trees were believed to possess inherent supernatural power. One might assume that some of this magic is inherited in paintings depicting trees. Different trees represent different qualities, underscoring the overall meaning of a painting.

If you’re drawn to this painting and wish to illustrate the cycle of life and seasonal death, you can pair it with our painting of a winter forest.
