The Fun of Blogging...

...comes in when you get to compress a bit of work into one post.


Here the painting is still a jumble of unfinished lines, but each tree dropped in makes another become more defined.


After looking at an insurmountable mess for so long, I only have five more trees to fill in this round, then one last big round of leaves.


The puzzle is coming together!

Delinquent Blogging...

...I have been suffering from of late. Apologies to my few faithful readers; I have no defense except to say that it is hard to come up with interesting things to say about leaves. Now that I've had a month plus to think about it, I still got nothing.


But plodding forth undaunted, the above image is from my last post, just to get back up to speed. Typically I paint one size of leaves in a section, but here there are little ones in the background and larger (and mostly red-ish because they are in shadow) leaves of a more foreground level. By building like this the tree gets wrapped, and everything begins to look a bit more three dimensional.


Stay tuned for more riveting news on leaves...
