A semi-abstract landscape pairing a dusk sky with autumn-hued hills and open fields. The sky is composed of rectangular blocks of cream, pale blue-gray, lavender, peach, ochre, and coral, with dry, scraped edges left deliberately visible. The lower landscape contains no water; hills and trees are resolved into broad, simplified planes of orange, ochre, sage, brown, and gray — quiet and grounded in their autumn palette. The piece invites you to read it as a landscape and an abstract composition at once. A semi-abstract autumn landscape combining a sunset sky with layered hills and fields. The sky is made from rectangular blocks of cream, pale blue-gray, lavender, peach, ochre, and coral, with worn and scraped edges left visible.

It balances a recognizable landscape with the visual interest of an abstract composition. SERIES — AUTUMN HORIZON AUTUMN HORIZON is a five-piece series that sits between landscape and abstraction, inspired by autumn evenings. The skies are built from rough-edged rectangular blocks layered in cream, pale blue-gray, lavender, peach, ochre, and coral.

From a distance the works read as autumn landscapes; move closer and the block-like planes, scraped textures, and layered surfaces come into focus. Warm seasonal tones are tempered with blue-gray and lavender, making the series at home in calm, contemporary spaces.
