This painting is a moment of stillness—
that feeling of standing in a quiet forest, looking up,
and realizing the world above you is on fire with color.
The birch trees reach toward the sky like they’re trying to hold onto the last warm light of the season.
Reds, golds, greens—each one a different face of autumn, each one a reminder that change can be beautiful.
In the center, the sky opens like a soft breath of blue.
A little window of peace.
A reminder to look up more often.
