Perfect for adding a touch of seasonal charm to your home decor, this artwork evokes the peaceful quiet of a winter night by the lake.

autumn  
sets the maple on fire  
red leaves

Red Maple Leaves is an acrylic painting in portrait format painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. Many leaves from the Japanese maple tree in warm red and orange tones glow in the autumn sun.

This artwork, a combination of painting and haiku, is a joint project by Karen Kaspar (© art) and Marjolein Rotsteeg (© Haiku).
A haiku is a traditional Japanese poetry form consisting of three lines.

Here the acrylic painting was supplemented with the haiku in English. The painting is also available without text (see my collection 'Trees and leaves paintings').

As another week begins, let us look to our precious pups for inspiration and guidance.

Let them remind us to stop and smell the flowers, cherish the ordinary moments and be grateful for each day.

Even in the midst of chaos and cruelty, there is joy to be found and good in our world 💙🐾

Captain James Pritchard bought a lot in Titusville, Florida, from Mary Titus and in 1891 had this house built. In 2005 the house was purchased by Brevard County for preservation.

There is a mahogany plantation on the North coast of Kauai that you can walk around. Photos of it tend to be a little stark with the trees planted in rows, but with a bit of artistic license, it can be magic. #Kauai #AYearForArt #Photography #DigitalArt #Landscape

Take a moment to sit back and observe this painting. Do you feel it? It's warm and a little humid, there's a slight breeze. The green scent of nature rises around you as you lie back in the soft grass, damp on your back. Birds are quiet in the midday heat, but the almost imperceptible buzz of busy insects rises to meet your ears. The burble of the nearby brook lapping the stream bed plays harmony to their toil. Your mind submits to Nature's demand for attention. It is moments such as these that are forever etched in our psyche, calling themselves up at the most unexpected times. The day can be hot, the grit and clang of the city an assault on the senses, but then you pass by a fountain surrounded by flowers. Suddenly, and for just a moment, you are transported. Somehow through the noise, you hear the bees on flowers and feel the mist from the fountain as it whispers over you with its damp feel and wet scent. The sun on your skin is hot, and you are there again, by that burbling brook, for just a moment. Perhaps this is how we survive a world of our own making. Internalizing and retreating to the natural when overload threatens to overtake us.

An impressionistic, natural landscape that will add tranquility to any space.
