The Last of the Colorful Trees
I painted this tree this afternoon in my sketchbook to capture the last of the bright leaves. The sky and the hills across the Bay were a very dark gray-blue. The wind was blowing and it started to snow. It's very likely the leaves will be gone by morning. It's a rather delicate looking tree, but apparently very strong willed - all the large trees have given up their leaves long ago.I liked the contrast of the warm yellow and the deep blue. Doesn't nature have some fabulous color combinations?!
November 11th - thank you Veterans!!!
The VERY best!
ReplyDeleteDitto! Thanks to the Vets--love 'em.
ReplyDeleteYes, we also have many "golds" left! We even got snow flurries here (downstate) this evening and the grass is white. Our new deck is pure white :-) because it's cold beneath.
We have some solid red maples (mostly smaller ones) left too.
You found a bright spot in our grey world. Good for you.
ReplyDeleteCatherine, it's beautiful, I agree about the colors and blessings to our veterans.love,Diana
ReplyDeleteforgot to say how lovely this watercolor is....love the gold against the snow flurried blue-grey sky!
ReplyDeleteThis time of the year--we do have to look for the bright spots!
Margie and Marj - I love the golds and bright reds against the dark skies - such drama.
ReplyDeleteKaren - we have to look hard sometimes. It has been SO dark.
Diana - thanks!
