Autumn forest

Walter Moras’s Autumn Forest captures the season at its richest and most reflective. Tall trees rise on either side of a quiet woodland pool, their trunks dark and textured, their branches holding the last bright leaves of fall. Warm golds, deep rusts, and soft browns fill the scene, creating a feeling of calm and gentle transition. Fallen leaves gather on the forest floor and float across the still water, inviting the viewer to pause and take in the subtle sounds and softness of the season.

Moras had a gift for portraying nature with sincerity, and here he focuses on atmosphere rather than spectacle. The forest is neither dramatic nor threatening. Instead, it feels familiar and welcoming, a place where time slows and change happens quietly. The pool becomes a mirror for the shifting trees above, reminding us how autumn marks both an ending and a promise of renewal.
