Autumn Trees, 10.5" x 12"

Oil on Canvas, 10.5 x 12 x 1 inches. Framed in Black.

Painted during a plein air session near Vancouver’s beloved Granville Island, “Autumn Trees” is a glowing tribute to the warmth and beauty of fall. Bathed in golden sunlight, the scene captures a fleeting moment of serenity—when the crisp air and fiery foliage remind us of nature’s quiet magic. Anastasia’s signature use of light guides the viewer gently through the canvas. “The sunlit flickers,” she shares, “lead the eye toward a winding, light-blue path in the background—a recurring symbol in my work. It represents the journey we all take in life, one that ultimately leads us to love.”

Built with multiple layers of rich oil paint, this painting is pastous and tactile, with bold, textured brushstrokes that bring the scene to life. Vivid reds, oranges, and golden yellows pulse with emotion, while the thick application of color creates a sense of movement and depth. “Autumn Trees” is more than a seasonal landscape—it’s a meditation on change, connection, and the beauty found along the winding path of life.

Award-winning Seattle-based oil painter Anastasia Fedorova creates unique multilayer oil paintings using the traditional Renaissance Italian technique impasto. Her oil paintings have many layers of different oil paintings. Sometimes there could be up to six layers, which she paints one on top of another. Her unique technique allows her to achieve incredible depth in her oil paintings and makes her works full of vivid and sumptuous colours.
