What a beautiful picture of leaves on Pinterest! That was our inspiration for today. I did some color blocking on the bg and cut out leaves that I had colored with cray pas and then smeared using gel baby oil. I like the effect of that. A few dew drops and glossy accents on the leaves and I was done.

Not only is the coloring of the leaves a great effect, I bet they smell great, too. So glad you popped this up on the easel for the photo because it is a fresh, unique piece of art.

Oh, Polly...gorgeous! I love the color you achieved on your leaves and the glossy accents....the leaves look like they're swirling....and a very fitting and meaningful sentiment!
