The Joy of Autumn – Original

The Joy of Autumn • 15×20 Original Watercolor Portrait by Karen Hilliard

This painting is meant to represent the joy all children have playing in leaves during Autumn. I wanted to capture the light and show how a child’s happiness can illuminate others. The colors in the background represent the contrast of various types of trees. Not all trees shed their leaves in the fall and I wanted this watercolor to show how we are all connected even through our differences.
