Description
I have gotten inspired again to paint beautiful fall leaves in the middle of winter as I remember the myriad shades of gorgeous leaves that brighten our days before the winter cold sets in... I am so thankful to God that He chose to bring so much beauty into the fall season of the year.
In order to achieve the beautiful effect you see in this painting, it was first painted in washes of various light colors and then I allowed the paint to dry between each layer so that the peach and yellow background colors would shine through the darker leaf patterns. A little salt was also applied to give the painting extra texture. Then I digitally enhanced it to give the leaves a little extra ink texture to enhance the soft pastel shades of the sunset.♥

The subtle pastel colors, textures and atmosphere qualities of this wonderful watercolor have a special glow all their own Hazel. Beautifully created. F/L.

What a very attractive image, Hazel! The colours and textures are so nicely balanced and interesting! Not only is this a great "stand alone" work of art but it would be a great background layered with another image or text. I see it mixed with an autum forest photograph. LF

Malanda, thank you so much for your suggestions! I only wish I knew how to layer it with another image like a forest photograph.

Love this abstract, Hazel! Your description of your processes is very interesting...would never think to use salt in a painting! (But, I'm not a painter, either!) L/F
