Autumn Lights Acrylic

This 60 cm by 40 cm acrylic painting captures a tranquil riverside woodland at daybreak. Broad, gestural strokes render the trees in warm autumn tones, while soft, layered washes in the sky and water suggest a moment of stillness and reflection. The composition invites the viewer to follow light as it breaks through the canopy, creating a gentle progression from shadow to luminosity. Painted as a daily practice of focus and attention following my brain injury the work embodies resilience and the evolving clarity that comes with healing. It also reminds me of New York, a place I’ve always wanted to visit. A visual diary of presence, balance, and calm emerging from my memories and perception
