Tracing Leaves

Thanks so much Eva and Kristin for allowing our creative spirits out for comments and advice. I appreciate the opportunity to visit, learn and teach others. Paint Party Friday is a wonderful school of varied artistic ways to approach Art. I have made so many friends and learned about so many ART techniques which has allowed me to grow in my own artistic style. Be sure to check out the artists at the above URL.

I decided to go back to my school days. I am finally living in an area where there are mostly large trees and large leaves go with them. I used a drawing pencil over tracing paper directly over the leaf. 
 The little red leaf I found last week was an exception.
The Red leaf.
 Two horses in the pasture across the fence. . . fodder for sketching.
 Different kinds of clouds.  .  .
 . . to be painted. . almost looks like a leaf.
 Definitely squirrels to draw.
