Autumn Leaves


A couple weeks ago, I went walking in the woods with two friends, and we collected leaves. I put them in a book, and at the suggestion of my friend, tonight pulled some out, and traced their outlines on black paper, and colored them in with oil pastels. The last two days, it's been cold, windy and rainy, but the colors are in full swing, brilliant yellows, oranges, golds, and reds. It's almost sad to take it all in, knowing this blanket of color will be gone soon, replaced by browns, grays, and whites and naked trees.
