Create a watercolor artwork depicting the charming beauty and warm autumnal ambiance of a small village. The scene should capture the vivid colors of fall, with maple trees displaying rich oranges, reds, and yellows. Add specific details like cozy cottages with chimneys gently releasing smoke into the crisp air, and children joyfully playing with piles of fallen leaves, throwing them into the air with excitement. The village scene should feel inviting and showcase a sense of community, with warm contrasts to emphasize the autumn foliage against the cool, fresh air. The painting should have a distinct contrast, highlighting the vibrant colors of the trees against the soft, muted tones of the village homes and sky.
