Autumn Totem Canvas – Stacked Pumpkin Still Life with Seasonal Symbolism

Some seasons rise in silence—layered in color, shadow, and quiet reverence.

This painterly canvas captures a carefully stacked tower of pumpkins and gourds, rising like a ritual obelisk against a warm, minimalist backdrop. With hues shifting from rich orange at the base to soft creamy white at the top, the natural imperfections—wrinkles, cracks, subtle blemishes—add texture and authenticity. Harsh shadows and abstract brushstrokes transform the simple still life into a symbolic monument of autumn's mystery, honoring cycles of growth, rot, and the sacred transition of the season.
