Single Maple Leaf in fall is an acrylic painting in contemporary square format, hand-painted by artist Karen Kaspar. A single leaf of a maple tree in vibrant warm autumn colours of yellow, orange, red and green floats on an abstract light blue background, surrounded by loose splashes of colour that echo the autumnal colours of the leaf. The use of colour and texture gives the leaf a dynamic, almost three-dimensional effect. The luminous warm colours of the autumn leaves are emphasised in their luminosity and vibrancy by the background in contrasting light cool blue tones. 329
