Original artwork description:

This still life is a delicate ode to the serene, subtle beauty of Autumn. The focal point is a vase abounding with a dried grass bouquet that is a gentle remembrance of vibrancy, yielding a softer, muted elegance. Adjacent to this, white drapery cascades with grace, and a selection of books—each with its unwritten history—occupies the space, with one lying open. The color palette, featuring calm and harmoniously interwoven tones, sets a stage for reflection and tranquil beauty.

The subtle transition from the liveliness of summer to the composed quietude of Autumn serves as the primary muse for this piece. I found a quiet resonance in how nature surrenders its vivacity to embrace a more subdued existence, signaling the cyclical passage of time. Once green and lush, the dried grasses have transitioned into a new form of beauty. Similarly, the books and drapery suggest a comforting, familiar presence amidst the continual flow of time.

I aspire for the observers to be gently enveloped in the soothing aura of the painting, evoking nostalgia.
