Inspired by the season ~


Red Leaf, 3.5 x 5" Watercolor/Acrylic on paper

The leaves have not turned the bold varied colors as much this year in our area, but I found this one yesterday and it was outstanding! The ribs reminded me of lightning streaks. This is a small watercolor study - almost abstracted with the color of the shadows against the leaf color.

Beauty, just sad that all will be gone soon, we got some wild winds here tearing all leaves from trees. Anna :)

Beautiful little Atumnual treasure! Helen, I forget when I look at your at your paintings that they are small works of heart and the detail of working in such small scale is incredible. I just love your work. I put in a word with Santa about my favorite so far, keep painting!
