Today we have a foot of snow on the ground and the leaves are gone.  Funny how fast the beauty of Autumn comes and goes.  A few weeks ago at the height of color I took a walk finding and collecting many beautiful leaves but the most spectacular one for me was the green one in the painting.  It had these amazing large purple veins that were so unique I had to try and capture it.  Of course the painting doesn't do the leaf justice, even a photograph doesn't completely capture the beauty.  I pressed the leaf along with a bunch of others hoping the colors will last for awhile to enjoy.  Nature's paintbox is amazing!

 My acrylic paintings are protected by an acrylic satin varnish and I use professional acrylic paints: Winsor Newton, Liquitex and Utrecht.  The Ampersand gessobord's are a museum series panel which are acid free, archival.  All my paintings are signed, dated with the paintings information on the back.

Thanks for visiting, stay safe.
