A sunny autumn day
The garden breathes colors
Leaves whispering

After a beautiful late summer week, it has now become autumn. The temperature has dropped considerably, compared to that warm week. Rain showers are frequent, although not very heavy.

Many leaves have been blown off by a summer storm, we are collecting those fallen leaves almost daily and putting them in a large mesh basket so they can compost in the coming months.

The leaves that are still on trees and shrubs are now beginning to color in wonderful autumn hues….

'Whispering Leaves' is a new artwork in my collection 'Secret Places'.

It is based on a photo that I made of a cosy corner of our garden, with a great variety in bushes with leaves and flowers in all kind of shapes and colors.

This artwork is a digital transformation of a photograph. Printed on order with high-quality ink on museum-quality, acid-free cotton/rag paper (Hahnemühle Photo Rag® 308gsm).

I start with one or more photographs made by myself to create these artworks. Then I use digital painting, color adjusting and adding and transforming multiple artistic textures and effects. I do this until there is a surreal atmosphere that touches me and tells the story I want to tell you.

ALL WE NEED IS LESS CONSUMING

Through my artworks I ask you to reflect for a moment on the nature around you, on the beautiful feeling that nature can evoke. Thus to think about your actions to support the wellbeing of the earth and everything that lives on it. And on what humanity loses when many of us continue on the destructive path of ever more greed and consuming. And please, reflect on how you can survive in this rapidly changing world…
