August

"August" by Leafstedt captures the essence of late summer’s quiet warmth through vibrant swaths of golden yellow and burnt orange. With bold strokes, Leafstedt evokes the lingering heat of the season, balanced by a sense of stillness as evening approaches. The acrylic applied over European linen provides a textured surface, lending depth and richness to the work. This hand-stretched linen border subtly frames the composition, adding a natural element that complements the organic energy within the piece. Leafstedt’s expressive brushwork embodies both the intensity and tranquility of August, offering a powerful visual memory of summer’s end.
