Doodled Leaves - The Falling Leaf

I like the result of these leaves...size: 5"w x 6.75"h
On Canson Mixed Media paper created the leaf design with a Sharpie Fine Tip pen. Painted with various brands of watercolors and Artistro metallic Brush Paint pens. Sponge some blue Pan Pastels in the background. Text written with a Zebra nib and Sumi ink. Backed the artwork onto mid toned green scrapbook cardstock.

words: The falling leaf that tells of autumn's death is, in a subtler sense a prophecy of spring. Robert Green Ingersoll

Scribbled Lives 2022 - Wk 23 Connections - I Am The Connections

I was kinda of stumped on what to do with the challenge this week. I looked up quotes for "Connections" and nothing spoke to me... Then yesterday I remembered this quote and everything just fell into place in my brain... I'm very pleased with the end result.

I wrote out names of teachers I've been taught by since Covid started and there are lots more that didn't fit on my paper...

Leslie BD card & Envelope

I saw a wonderful card image of flowers in a jug on a friend's blog and had to paint it... I'm pleased with the results BIG GRIN

And since I just took another floral decorated lettering class with Heather Held, thought I'd do the envelope with that technique. Not as delicate as Heather does, but will get there eventually...
