Autumn - "Girl with Maple Leaves"

🍁 To celebrate Fall, I’m sharing autumn artworks from my 40-year career.

Last week I shared my artwork of a Doberman splashing through a river, on an olive green background with backlit maple leaves across the top. That has been a theme of mine throughout my career. Here is another one. That scene and that lighting brings back a very special memory from deep in my childhood, a hike with my Dad, just the two of us… a place where we spent the afternoon together by a river. The air and water and light, and my Dad’s attention, seared itself into my heart, I guess, in a way that I have spent the rest of my life trying to capture the feeling in my art. 

Most of the gallery work I created, before I started doing Dobermans in 1991, was of the human figure. Throughout history artists have done studies of nude human figures, to portray the beauty of the human form in art.
