Fall Leaves Inspiration


I went out today, in the cold and rain, with my camera, in search of amazing leaf images.  I did not come away disappointed!!  The area I live in is awash in all the colours of fall.  We are fortunate enough to live near a forest trail, and every day when I walk my daughter to school, we walk through a small section.  To be surrounded by so many reds, oranges, yellows and golds, with just a hint of green here and there - fall sets fire to the trees and the imagination!

I will be the first to admit that I'm not much of a photographer, but I can make do with the pictures I take to try and create paintings from them.  I've also been watching lots of videos teaching colour theory.  What I want to create from the pictures I took today is a simple painting, hopefully taking full advantage of all the warm colours of fall.  Maybe it will help me feel warmer in the coming cold months of winter :)
