Captured during our most recent (and far too brief) trip to New England, this image was taken along Route 302, just south of Bretton Woods. Most of the journey was draped in soft, subdued tones and rain—but then this scene appeared. A riot of peak fall color, stretching like a living mosaic of treetops, with five or six evergreens rising boldly through the canopy. The composition practically jumped into the viewfinder.
Where Color Is the Subject
Unlike the classic New England postcard with a white steeple nestled among trees, this image is the trees—pure color and texture, nothing else. Sometimes color alone is the subject, and this frame proves that truth, though the interplay of textures carries equal weight.
This piece evokes everything I miss about northern autumns—vivid leaves, the smoky scent of burning piles (back when that was allowed), crisp air, and the excitement of an approaching birthday.
A bold choice for interior designers, autumn lovers, and fine art collectors seeking a vivid celebration of fall in New England.
Available in a Limited Edition of 25, with 2 Artist Proofs.
