Tell me more about your leaves

"Late summer days with long sunny rays piercing through the yellowing leaves. The soul content, observed with intent the movement of the trees. The brush swiftly dabbing in thick paint and having a blast with colors that please." (From the artists' sketchbook)
This work, reflects the emerging beauty of the transition between late-summer and early-autumn. As the artists' brush strokes the canvas again and again, a feeling of serenity and joie de vivre emerges from each gesture.

Virtosu has used almost all the colors on his palette, yet the harmony he created remains so powerful and integral to the composition - it brings vibrancy and life to the entire work. All the colors mix together and recreate the complexity of life. The abundance of life and the freshness of gesture are masterfully crafted.
