An Autumn Stroll Through the Old City

This is a watercolor painting depicting a charming old city street scene in the autumn. The narrow, cobblestone pathway, strewn with fallen leaves, recedes into the distance, leading the eye towards a prominent church spire that rises above the rooftops.

On both sides of the street, tall, stately buildings with stone facades and multiple windows create a sense of enclosed intimacy. The architecture suggests a historical European setting. Lush trees, some still vibrant green, but many ablaze with the warm hues of autumn—oranges, yellows, and reds—line the street and peek over stone walls.

Theme & Experience

The overarching theme of this painting is nostalgia and the beauty of transitional seasons in historical urban settings. It evokes a sense of stepping back in time, appreciating the timeless charm of old-world architecture intertwined with the transient, yet spectacular, beauty of autumn.
