Two Little Leaves

Just a little bit of art to remind you of autumn's beauty. And because I had to practice painting leaves!


The one on the left, of course is real.


And here, the one on the bottom is the real thing.

Back to the drawing board!

  1. Your painted leaves are so realistic, I could barely tell them apart, especially the maple leaves. They are gorgeous!

  4. Very real . . .your painting, your leaves . . .
    I might have to experiment with that lesson . . .
    I painted today and used a new fan brush technique.
    Fun to try something new . . .

  21. Nicely done. Realistic enough to evoke autumn's beauty, but impressionistic enough to make clear photography isn't necessarily the only good way to capture an image.

  22. The real ones and your painted leaves are beautiful, Jeanie! It's always amazing to see the colors fall leaves can have.

  23. Gorgeous! The first look at the top picture I thought both leaves were real. It wasn't until I saw that you had been painting that I took a closer look and realized one was painted. Very nice!

  24. Wow, you picked two very difficult leaves -- especially the big red one. Those views of green are killer to do, since the slightest bleed would turn the whole thing a mushy brown. Well done!

  25. Beautiful artwork, Jeanie! I actually think it's quite difficult to paint leaves and mine never look as gorgeous as yours do.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Goodness, Jeanie! I scrolled without reading at first. I didn't realize they were painted! Going back to read I looked closer. You have done such a lovely job capturing these leaves.

  27. Beautiful! Do hang much of your work in your home?
