“The Turning” is a small, square-framed artwork encased in warm oak, the image captures the quiet threshold between summer’s end and autumn’s arrival.

The scene is simple yet stirring. A single tree stands in a clearing, its leaves caught in mid-shift—half still green, stubborn with the heat of summer, the other half burning with the fire of early fall. The oranges are deep and vivid, not quite rust, not quite flame, but something alive in between. Above, the sky is an autumn’s grey with silver clouds, suggesting cooler air on the way.

“The Turning” tells the story of change—not abrupt or dramatic, but soft and inevitable. A breeze carries a whisper of the season to come, rustling through branches with a new kind of purpose.

A child might see it and remember the first morning they wore a sweater to school and kicked through leaves on the sidewalk. An older viewer might think of a walk with someone they once loved, hands tucked in pockets, laughter rising like mist from a nearby stream. Each person who stands before it feels something slightly different, yet all are tied to the same truth: that beauty often lives in moments of transition.

“The Turning” doesn’t shout for attention. It’s quiet, like the first cool wind brushing across your skin after a long summer. It invites you to pause, to reflect, and to feel the gentle ache of something ending and something else just beginning.

The artwork will be accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity assuring the purchaser of its quality and provenance. The painting will also be carefully packaged for its journey to its new home, ensuring it arrives in perfect condition.
