Sunday Sketches - Fall Scene

We turned the heat on in our house yesterday, it was feeling cold last night.

Last week, I pointed my camera up to the sky to capture one of my favourite trees turned orange/red.  Wish I knew what kind it was!  Acrylic (11"w x 8 1/2h) on card stock.  Happy Sunday Sketches!

And congratulations to Alexandra and MMm!!!  It's wonderful news indeed that two of my favourite people are getting married. Here's a toast to Creative Tuesdays and Sunday Sketches!






Here is the photo that inspired it:

I love both your shot of the tree scape with the the clear sky and your beautiful interpretation of it. The latter is so delicate and detailed, it's mesmerizing. Blessings, my friend!

Loved the photo and the sketch. We've been running our heater for about 2 weeks now. The mornings are cold and the afternoons warm. Typical fall in Fresno.

It has to be a maple! I refuse to feel guilty that I haven't sketched, but I do reserve the right to do so in future!

I love how you interpreted the photo into a painting. It's surreal and beautiful.
