"Reclining Leaf"

Oil on Board. Approx 8"x4 SOLD

I painted this leaf a few months ago. It was such a cool leaf to me that I kept it on my still live shelves. When on it's side, it looks like it's reclining.

  1. Hello Michael,

    I just love this. It is so delicate and beautiful, almost moving.

    I was walking my dog yesterday and noticed some exquisitely coloured maple leaves on the ground and I wanted to pick them up, and with your inspiration I will paint them.

    Cheers,

    Catherine Gillespie

    I love your use of color and brush strokes. You're able to capture the delicate nature of a leaf very well.

    It is enchanting.There is something in the dry leaves that is so divine.

  7. I love the articulation of the edge of the leaf, as well as the general design. What beautiful colors in the neutral background, too!
