Welcome to Paint Party Friday! This piece is called 'The First Leaves', pointing to the end of summer. I noticed a couple of leaves already falling last week. My art is done on an index card in watercolour crayon and outlined with a fine point marker. My daughter L was hesitant about this piece, so childlike she said. Whatever, I thought it would go well with my photo below.
Neesie just gave me the idea to outline the leaves, so here is the outlined version too.
Here is the photo I took:

Lovely idea, here the first leaves are falling, too, and there is definitely a taste of Autumn in the cool air this morning.Happy PPF, Hugs, Valerie
I've always been attracted to child style art. I don't think this one looks childish at all. It's a perfect replica of your photograph. I'm looking forward to falling leaves in gold, and yellow, orange and red. Nice piece.
Ooh a sign of fall being just around the corner! We're just starting to see the odd leaf on the ground here at the moment, and it's getting me excited for crisper weather, and the sound of crunchy leaves under foot! Happy PPF!
Lovely art. Happy PPF
I enjoyed seeing your take on the end of summer expressed in your lovely painting of the leaf. I have had many leaves falling, partly due to the dry weather, I think. Thanks for visiting and for your nice comment.
I love the simplicity of it!!
I love both your photo and your interpretation. I agree with you they go perfectly together.
The leaves are falling here too. I can't wait for the cool weather. We had just a hint of it this week and it was great.
Argh... no not Autumn surely Christine? I'm still waiting for summer!
I love autumn colours and your interpretation is great. I always want to outline my work.
Happy PPF to you
I haven't seen anything falling yet myself but it is just a matter of time I'm sure.
Very pretty! Such soothing colours.
I am NOT ready for fall!
sweet sketch-but it saddens me a bit to see so many leaves falling already-here too-and even the mornings and nights are getting quite cool...
Charming... and such a lovely honor to the waning of summer!
Good for you! I've failed to do any drawaings since my client died. I love yours, though!

Looks good. The outlining of the leaves went well.
I think it's sweet. It has an elegant simplicity. I am so ready for fall, so hot here right now...
Very sweet leaf...too many leaves turning already. Wish it was more because of autumn and less because of drought!!

The outlining really makes your leaves pop out nicely. Blessings, my friend!
Great job Christine, I hope you like it :?
I think it really adds sometime... making it more 3D. I can't seem to stop outlining my work. Have fun xx
Nice piece, not childlike, simplicity is the hardest thing to do and you cracked it! Funny to think you have leaves falling and we have spring blossom startin g to swirl about like confetti!
I love the minimalism of your paintings, they are very calming. And in fact children usually always make lovely drawings and paintings, so to say your drawing is childlike is a compliment in my eyes. It's a lovely Fall photo too.
I love your leaf with and without outlines :)
But it is such a sign of the coming fall.... ;)

Can feel and see the energy of the leaves beginning to fall in your delightful art!
~ Happy Weekend to you,

interesting to see how different it looks with the outline. Wonderful piece, although I really don't want to think about falling leaves yet .....
Oh falling leaves already.... Autumn is my favorite season. So pretty and colorful, I just :ont want it so soon :-) lovely painting... Love it!
nicely done, nature to inspiration
have a good weekend
much love...
Cute! I remember tracing leaves as a kid. Fond memories of that and using pudding as finger paint. lol :-)
now that's a happy childhood!
You have captured the photo perfectly. Out here in New jersey, the weather cannot make up its mind. Two days ago, it felt like autumn and today it was 90 deg!
Thanks for visiting my blog. Happy PPF
