Autumn Hazel

This artwork presents a naturalistic view of Common Hazel leaves in their autumnal phase. The leaves, with their distinctive rounded and slightly serrated shapes, are captured mid-fall, displaying a rich palette of yellows intermingled with lingering touches of green. The composition is framed by geometric shapes— a soft green circle and a bright gradient yellow rectangle— accentuating the organic textures and seasonal hues of the foliage. The thin, brownish stems supporting the foliage add subtle linear accents that deepen the image's connection to its woodland habitat. This piece elegantly reflects the temperate deciduous environment and the cycle of senescence that characterises temperate woods.
