Scattered Leaves
I love leaves.
I love leaves so much that I am constantly picking them up in our yard or on the trail, saving them for inspiration. I often find leaves tucked in books and sketchbooks.
I’m so happy with how this drawing of scattered leaves turned out. I picked a random leaf from my pile and drew it on my page using graphite pencils.
I added the names of the trees these leaves fell from in my cursive writing, which seems to be a dying art these days.
I love working on compositions like this. I just wish it hadn’t taken me so long to finish.
I need to work on staying focused on one project at a time, in spite of all the ideas swirling around in my head and all the inspiration out there in the world.
beautiful drawings! I think sometimes we overlook the details… I love all the colors that leaves come in 🙂
Lovely renderings, Terri! I especially like the leaf drawing. I enjoy those also, and if you were to open nearly any large book in my studio, many pressed leaves would fall out! So I know that we both love leaves and nature a lot! Enjoying those pressed leaves in winter is a nice treat!
leaves are a pretty incredible inspiration aren’t they?!
Hi Terri! I enjoy also to watch and collect leaves and your drawings are beautiful! x Teje
Your scattered leaf page is gorgeous, I could sit and look at it for a long time 🙂 and I love the cursive writing that you added – I love cursive writing to this day although I don’t do it as often as I could. It’s lovely to see a project through to the end, even if it does take you longer than you though – though my favourite motto is ‘it will take as long as it takes’ 🙂
Wow! They’re both wonderful! I love pencil drawings:)
Great sketches! I never draw now that I’m not taking a class that requires me to sketch. I’m so proud of you! 🙂
The leaves are my favorite so far! I’d love to mat and frame them!
i LOVE the leaves with the cursive writing added. soooooooooo very nice!! you do such a great job, Terri. you blow me away. (ha! a little leaf pun for you.)
Your drawing is absolutely wonderful! I love the leaves too, a colorful sign of changes to come!
Great drawings Terri. I think they would look cool framed for a wall. I need to get back to my sketchbook soon I’ve had a little creative block lately and I need to get over it.
Great drawings! I have a great leaf photo I’ve been meaning to post, but I just haven’t gotten around to it yet.
