Sunday Sketches - My Autumn Tribute

It's time for Alexandra's Sunday Sketches! The tree leaves have started to turn here and in some cases the first leaves have fallen. This is my autumn tribute, in acrylic on cardstock (6.5" x 4.5").

Yay your picture brightened my mood because I love fall and it never really feels like fall until you see all of the leaves on the ground in gold and orange and brown. Lovely depiction.

This is a really sweet composition. I can visualize it on some note cards for Thanksgiving cards. Blessings!

we are entering spring here in australia and for me that means the Jacaranda trees are all dropping their leaves and getting ready to cover themselves in purple... so I am driving through all these leaves despite it being the opposite season...xx

I'm an Aussie too and, sadly, I don't get to see the autumn influence on trees around here...they are mostly evergreens. I do love it when I come across one tho. Nice sketch!
