And here we go.. my (most likely) last leaf for this Fall Season. I was looking for some subjects for my Sketchbook project which title is Down My Street and I found this little treasure laying on a ground and looking so pretty that I couldn’t resist to paint. It is surprising how almost rotten, practically half eaten and torn apart object can be so attractive and beautiful 🙂 ……………..

Irina, Gorgeous! Somehow I missed the last leaf, I think it's beautiful. I love the whole series! I think you're on to something.

Beautiful Irina! The title fits the piece. It really does look like its on fire. -Joe
I love the bend in the stem and how it plays with the over all composition.
Beautiful- the shadow is amazing!
