            In this Figurative
            Floral Still Life Painting, "Handheld Fall Leaf" an
            original oil on panel, I wanted to continue to explore the transparent
            and quite colorful turnings of a fall leaf held by hand. The
            chosen back-lit view dramatizes the viens and turning of colors
            in the life cycle of this fall leaf which reminds me that all
            things have their season. Life is magnificent in all it's turnings
            and the leaves from which I carefully chose all possessed such
            individual beauty that the decision was most dificult until the
            light permiating this individual leaf showed me who to paint.
            The sixty year old hand is my own hand which has held a lot of
            beauty and a few brushes with the colors of fall.
