    knowing your leaves

    Posted by Lorraine Makaruk on 8th Feb 2013

    I have a better understanding of leaves and their importance. Not only are they pretty, but they also add to, point to and complement your point of interest. They have a purpose of their own with color and light reflections. There is a wide variety of leaves to add interest to the paintings with their shapes and colors.
