In the serene embrace of the garden Kinkaku-ji, Kyoto, Japan, autumn transforms the landscape into a tapestry of glorious contrasting colours and textures. The vibrant maples in fiery reds and oranges, their leaves dancing gently in the crisp air. In the foreground, the resilient pine tree stand tall and majestic, their deep greens grounding the scene. This water colour is enchanted with the addition of silk embroidery, and the composition becomes a true replication of nature's artistry.
