One Autumn leaf inspired me to create a little painting that closely replicated it in watercolor.
But then I decided to go a little free form and make it whatever color I wanted.
And then another color.
And then a little different shape…
All from one Autumn leaf picked up on a walk back from the mailbox.
The simple, smallest things that can create such joy…
Cherish the moments!
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

I’m ooooing and ahhhing, very cool study of a leaf and color. They would look great all framed together in a row. Keep the watercolors coming, I love your style. š

I love the colors in the first, the shape in the second, and the joy in the last one! Love them all, and I agree with Debi that the way you’ve set them off is beautiful. Well done, Autumn Princess *weaves a crown of leaves and flings to Mars* ššš

Bob? You must have me confused with someone else, Jodi. But, just for the sake of argument…is Bob a handsome guy with a great personality? On second thought…never mind about that last part. Is Bob… a handsome guy, hmm? š

Beautiful paintings. Love how they are a variation on theme, or in this case a single leaf. You color, layering, and shadows are a delightful celebration of nature.
