Gorgeous Peachy Colored Leaves
HI! I spotted these leaves in my backyard yesterday. In just one day the colors seemed to have turned this gorgeous peachy and golden colors. I had to go take photos. Somehow in my eyes it's so much more beautiful than it appears here. Are the leaves turning there?? I had to paint a few, I can smell that wonderful Fall leaf /woodsy smell as I paint them. I also had to paint a wild persimmon, they smell like citrus and peaches.. yum. Love the peachy color. I'm using Cad. Yellow Dark and Opera Pink mixed together. Sadie loves watching the leaves fall! That's my girl!
love to each of you and tell me what you've been painting,Diana
Ooooh - I love those colors!!! That is going to look so cool when it's finished.
ReplyDeleteSadie looks almost grown up in this photo [but I know she is still full of mischief :)]
Diana, thank you very much for your comment on my foray into landscapes. Sometimes I have my gutsy moments.
The leaves are turning here, too. Your peach color is vibrant!
ReplyDeleteSweet Sadie!
Dear Diana - I too have been painting peachy leaves...I don't think our cameras can really do justice to that beautiful color. Isn't opera beautiful mixed with yellow? Hope Sadie is being good for you! Take care and have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteLove you leaf selection, my favorite color combinations.
ReplyDeleteAt this elevation the foliage changes are spotty from green next to color next to bare branches. It depends on the tree and the location.
Sadie looks like she needs a biscuit called Twig.L)
