Neoclassical Fall

A woman in a flowery dress reclines on a stone pedestal. The pedestal, carved with intricate patterns, rests on a stone terrace next to two urns and overlooks forested hills that stretch into the distance. The hills are bright with red, yellow, and orange leaves of the fall foliage A single gnarled oak tree grows next to the pedestal. Its leaves too are bright with autumn color and a few of them have fallen the the ground around the reclining girl.

For this artwork, I wanted to go for a neoclassical style. The woman has a rather formal pose as if she is posing for a portrait. Also, she is surrounded by sculpted stone elements emphasizing strong linear forms. At the same time though, I wanted have an explosion of warm colors, so I set this in an autumn environment.

Thanks for looking,
Daniel
