Leaves, leaves, leaves.

That’s what my life is about these days – especially big-leafed maple leaves. About the size of a dinner plate (some are platter-sized), our enormous southside maple STILL has a few thousand leaves to drop. And the red alders have barely begun to even think about it. Don’t get me started. I love this forest place of ours, but this time of year the trees are definitely in charge of my life. Autumn blows comes though, I vacuum them up with the mower and haul’um down to the huge compost pile. In a couple of years they’ll magically transform into the best mulch money could buy. The garden loves it, but getting the process started is what I’m painting about today. Maybe paying homage to them will hasten the process.

Got to run. Leaves are awaitin’.

If you’re interested in this original mixed media on paper, just send me an email.

Thanks for reading this week.
