HI,well the dogs and I took a walk this morning. Yesterday it rained late and was windy so many of the gorgeous leaves have started to fall..They were falling while we walked and were so amazingly beautiful I picked up a good handful and started this little painting. The yellow leaves are ginko. They came from my parents yard but the others are sweet gum and I think hickory. I just wish I didn't have to stop to fix supper. I need to glaze them to increase the intensity of the colors and the leaves will start to shrivel up by tomorrow.. take care, talk to you soon, Diana
Diana, these are just wonderful.. I recognized the ginko leaves they have always been a favorite of mine.. but I don't think I see them here in Florida.. Now the Sweet Gum we have .. Your painting is coming along nicely. I like the way you do glazes.. it is one of the techniques that I really am bad at.. and you know why.... the drying time.. I'm too impatient so I really admire people who can do this succesfully. Diana, thanks so much for visiting and commenting on my blog . . you never fail me.. and I appreciate it.. .
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful, wondering how you will paint the background so as not to take away from the lovely leaves. I also love the ginkgo leaves, first saw these trees in college in New Hampshire, I was told they drop all of their leaves at one time. Is this true!?
