When autumn comes and the trees change colors from yellow, red, and finally purple...than they start to dance above ground in Bach sonata, than the myriad of leaves endlessly fall like rain from heaven. These leaves than touch the lake and fall into the depths of clear water to be never seen again.

So when I come to the forest surrounded by falling leaves I feel like I am surrounded by warmth of Earth and reality is here now as I become the surrounding me.

How can I relate this all in painting? I plan to draw this.

I'd start with a blank canvas, some oil paints and a brush. There are other ways, I suppose, but...?

Photography works too.

Try pastels not paints. They let you smooth colors out and feel the work more closely, finishing it with your fingers instead of a brush.
