Autumn Path — Signed Oil on Board

A richly textured landscape in a beautiful autumnal palette, this signed oil painting follows a pale path between dark trees and tall, rust-colored grasses. Beyond the foreground, an open expanse leads toward a wooded horizon, where warm ochre foliage meets the subdued sky.

The artist has applied the paint in confident, visible strokes, building passages of cream, gray, and muted blue against earthy browns and copper tones. Thickly worked paint gives the path a tactile quality, while sweeping grasses guide the eye into the distance.

Dark vertical trees anchor the left side, balancing the softer forms across the landscape. Its expressive brushwork captures the quiet atmosphere of the countryside through texture and color.

Signed at the lower left and accompanied by numerals that appear to read “14,” the painting is presented in an ornamented gold-toned frame. Beautiful in a library, hallway, or layered gallery wall, it brings warmth and seasonal character to a collected interior.
