Watercolor Autumn Leaves

Summer was crazy on Bear Hollow, so I didn't create much art - just music. I finally was able to take some time to paint. I've really missed putting a brush to paper or canvas. I didn't really do something totally new to what I have done before, I have painted watercolor leaves before - and have several ACEOs that are watercolor leaves. I really enjoy painting them. The watercolor is so fun to work with because the mix of colors is sort of in your control and a lot not in your control. So the final result is a little bit of a surprise. You can also see it on Etsy. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=6938263
The matt isn't really blue. I'll take another picture tomorrow and replace this one (if it doesn't look blue again).

My First ACEO for sale

I"m trying something new. I've always liked seeing other artists' ACEOs and I've seen that other people actually buy them, so I've made some. This one is from a set of five that I made. I'll post pictures of the others later - perhaps tomorrow. They are watercolor paintings painted on watercolor paper then mounted to a playing card. I hope to not only sell these, but to attract people to my shop to buy stained-glass art and bigger paintings.
