Acrylic paint on acetate, framed. Size: 22.5” x 28.5”
Artist statement on this piece:
Autumn Leaves began as an observational drawing and developed into a painting on multiple sheets of acetate. Layering transparent surfaces built texture, depth, and subtle dimensionality. The work references the jazz standard Autumn Leaves in both mood and palette, drawing on lyrics that evoke red and gold leaves. I’ve been exploring materials that create physical depth between layers in my abstract work, and this piece experiments with applying that interest to figurative imagery.
