Two friendly ghosts, each a simple draped sheet with two dark oval eyes, sit side by side on separate ornate black wrought-iron park benches at the center of an autumn park. One holds a small to-go coffee cup. Behind them stand a red-leafed tree, glowing golden trees and a dark trunk, while orange and rust fallen leaves cover the ground.

Soft golden-hour light radiates from the background trees in a warm haze with no harsh shadows. Heavy palette-knife impasto builds the foliage and leaves in thick ridges of paint, while thinner, softer strokes render the translucent ghost fabric, for a cozy, gently spooky and whimsical mood.
