Photography—canvas print, framed. Size 16” x 13”
Artist statement about this piece:
This photograph was taken along the Merced River in Yosemite National Park, when I was awestruck with the quiet beauty of fall. The golden leaves filled the trees along the riverbank, their vibrant colors mirrored perfectly in the still water below. Beneath the trees, the grass has faded to a rich golden brown, completing the autumn palette. The background has been darkened to deep black in post-processing, drawing the eye to the luminous trees, warm ground, and glowing reflections—creating an almost dreamlike, painterly composition of seasonal transition.
