This was the first oil painting in what was planned to be a series of four images depicting the four seasons (Autumn, Winter, Spring, Summer). As the wind blows the leaves around her, she pulls her shawl over her shoulders to cover her bare breasts from the chill. It along with the others were inspired by the work of the Art Nouveau artist and father of impossible arabesque hair, Alphonse Mucha. The dimensions of the canvas follow the golden ratio (1:1.618) to lend better visual appeal to the overall image. As I had done with the Neo-Elegance paintings that I created before, a precious metal drawing was used as the substructure of the image, before overlaying it with oil paint.
