Original artwork description:

"12_Landscape-II" is a captivating oil painting that transports viewers to the tranquil beauty of late summer transitioning into early autumn. The artist's skillful use of knife strokes and earthy tones infuses the landscape with texture and warmth.

In the foreground, bushes and two stately trees, bathed in the end-of-summer colors of amber, burnt sienna, and russet. These trees, rendered with bold knife strokes, add depth and dimension to the canvas. Their leaves, with a hint of autumnal gold, rustle gently in the breeze, offering a foretaste of the approaching fall.

The artist's use of earthy tones creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. The landscape is painted with rich ochres, deep siennas, and dusky greens, evoking the cozy, nostalgic feeling of the end of summer, when the world seems to take a deep breath before the change of seasons.
