Leaf.

Leaf. Acrylic, pencil and ink on paper. I opened my front door just the other day after cleaning and this leaf blew right inside! I guess it was looking for a warmer place. I told it I would sketch it and carried it safely to my studio.

I often look at leaves blowing around or on trees and think about each ones destiny. Not in so much as their true destiny, but as a mirror for all of ours. Where will they blow to? Will the weather damage them? Will this one just be trampled? Perhaps this one will be lucky enough to be glued into a craft project. Maybe one will become a Guinness World Record? Well this ones destiny blew right into mine and so I picked it up and did a quick painting of it. Enjoy.
