As Autumn approaches

Comments

Gorgeous depth of colour in this leaf and super shadow as well, a beautiful leaf study in watercolour, great to read where your inspiration for it came from as well!

10 in x 7 in on Bockingford 140lb. This leaf, a horse chestnut I think, dropped on my head while sitting by the pool in Skiathos, wondering what to paint. What a stroke of luck. Strange how the leaves in Greece are turning quicker than they are in the centre of England. I hope you like it.
