Autumn Shadow was a freehand painting and had no subject but was more of an emotional response. This is what "abstract" truly means in art - an emotional response. The design is moody and painterly and the green flash of colour shimmers and is enhanced by the darker blues and blacks surrounding. This scarf is edgy, bold and striking. Perhaps it is a scarf to be worn at night to a special evening, showing off the beautiful luxurious shine of this stunning silk fabric.
