Looking for something different to spice up your fall decorating traditions? Try meaningful original art on your wall or shelf. Bursting with life from every brush stroke, these pieces celebrate the changes of the seasons with classic painted expression.
1. Fall Leaves Fall - Badger by Debby Faulkner Stevens
This tiny treasure is a great conversation icebreaker. Filled with character and wit, the badger is a classic forest resident who is famous for its striped face and digging prowess. Badgers commonly bulk up with food in preparation for the winter. They stay in their roomy burrows for most of the season until the sun comes out and the ground thaws again in the spring.
2. Cheval Rouge by Pamela Brookman, Mixed Media
Inspired by the biblical four horses of the apocalypse, this portrait of the red horse takes on a revolutionary interpretation of war. Its graceful blending of warm colors with the horse’s fur and thoughtfully placed roses coincides beautifully with the autumn hued palette.
3. Pumpkins by Allan Jones, Acrylic
Who doesn’t enjoy a classic slice of life scene with pumpkins and blissful chickens enjoying the countryside? Ready to hang in a wooden frame, this painting has a well balanced neutral tone that will look great in many indoor places.
4. Amaryllis by William Crute, Oil Painting
Bursting with the promise of a cheerful holiday season, these bright red flowers are sure to grab the attention of your guests. Clean lines and simple shapes add the defining seasonal touch in modern and contemporary decorated homes, creating a minimalistic sense of balance.
5. Fall Colors by Charles Adrian Rutherford, Oil on Canvas
If you’re looking for relaxing earth tones, this painting is the perfect choice. A bouquet of freshly picked purple mums rests on the counter in this traditional style still life painting. It’s a lovely backdrop to set the stage for meaningful fall entertainment in your home that will leave lasting memories.
6. Sunset Rose by Judy Leasure, Pastel
This stunning golden rose hearkens the viewer’s memory to breathtaking fall views of aspen covered mountainsides. Its handsome matte black frame is on point with current interior decorating trends and is a smart choice for stately dining halls.
7. Fluttering Flyer by Janet Groom Pierce, Oil Painting
There’s nothing like a slice of mystery to grab someone’s attention, and the leaves in this gallery wrapped painting are certainly a teaser. Flying adrift in haphazard directions through the open air, these leaves seem to be at the mercy of the wind with no indication of where they are going. Not all art needs to have a grand purpose to be beautiful. It can simply exist to be admired. That alone fulfills its purpose!

It’s the truth: life would not exist without light. From the greatest to the smallest, light is essential for most living creatures on Earth to survive.
One of an artist’s greatest achievements is depicting the mastery of light in paintings. There’s no such thing as a pigment in “light” color, so painters must diligently express the illusion of light by employing a complexity of colors that depict placements of shadows, sunny areas, reflections, and so on to the naked eye.
