Autumn Reflections in Bennett Springs

This is the original piece that took me more than 52 hours to complete.  I'm hoping this piece will become part of my legacy one day. 
 
This piece captures one of those perfect autumn days at Bennett Springs Park, when the world feels crisp, colorful, and almost a little magical. The pastel medium let me blend those rich fall colors into a warm tapestry that surrounds the bridge like a natural frame. It’s a quiet, peaceful moment—just nature showing off at the park. The old stone bridge arches gently over the water, its textured blocks catching the light in a way that feels both sturdy and timeless. Beneath it, the water is so clear you can see the rocks and greens below the surface, all reflecting the fiery reds, golds, and oranges of the trees above.
