Day 62

The leaves are really coming to their color peak here
in Pennsylvania right now.  It seems that everywhere
I go I am picking up the ones that fascinate me because
of their color and/or shape.  This one really caught my
attention because of the shades of red, and those curling
leaves.
If you would like to see more of my work,
please visit my website or my blog. If you are
interested in purchasing any of my paintings you see
here on this blog, please contact me.

Lovely work on this, Carol! The curling edges, delicate veining and the spot on values really make this a stunner.

What a beautiful portrait of that leaf! Love the way you handled the curls and the stem! Color is coming to its peak here in Western North Carolina too. Am savoring the days!

This one is beautiful, Claire. She has such movement and rich color! Lady in Red.

Claire, I haven't been spending much time in the Landscape Forum at WC where I became acquainted with your work, but happened upon the blog and just LOVE this leaf. I've been playing around with still life in gouache and, as a result, this leaf and its wonderful shadows thrills me. Great piece. Now I'm going to go look at the rest of the work here...
