Love this- especially as for the month of October I set myself the task to draw and/or paint one leaf a day (30 leaves-30 days) and what an interesting project it turned out to be. I collected leaves from trees, flowers, weeds, vines- whatever caught my eye.. The first week or so I worked quickly, capturing the shape with ink outline and watercolor washes. By the end of the project I was in full blown botanical study mode and enjoying every minute. I was literally painting my last leaf on Saturday when the snow started falling!<br />~ gretchenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290470013027119322.post-17289979137378092002011-11-04T11:36:37.024-04:002011-11-04T11:36:37.024-04:00Joyce, they were really great kids!
