The Color of Autumn

The wind was blowing yesterday and making the leaves in the parking lot at my office chase each other around and around in circles until they formed drifts of the most beautiful colors.  When I told you about casting the concrete leaves in this post, I mentioned how Roberta paints her cast leaves in the most unusual and stunning colors.  She uses olive and burgundy and chartreuse and purple and gold tones that I thought I would never think of using because I don't picture them in nature.  Wrong!  These leaves are exactly the pallet she uses and will be my inspiration when I paint mine.  A gift from Mother Nature.
