I photographed a few of 'the collected' on a white ceramic platter.

Wonderful photos, I love the delicacy you've accomplished in capturing those leaves. Also lovely post with spiral leaves.
ReplyDeleteLove the first leaf!! The post is great, words for a piece are sometimes an interesting challenge, at least for me.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what it is about picking up a fallen leaf, B? I picked a leaf up in the car park yesterday and brought it home with me :-) the colour was awesome, I think it was from a Mango tree.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful leaf photos, Barry. I love the autumn colors and I have been thinking to use some weather worn leaves in my creations.
ReplyDeleteHi L. VA, K & GB - thanks for enjoying the leaves with me. L - the decaying leaves are delicate and bring their own delicate nature to the photos. VA - I agree names and words for pieces can be hard - often they are so inadequate to express the meaning and nature of the piece. K - leaf offerings are so rich and yet are free. GB - be interested to see how you use them in your work. All - go well. B
ReplyDeletethese leaves are reminders of how exquisite each one is...good to be mindful of this, if it's possible to, that is.
ReplyDeletehow marvellous is nature's artwork ... even in their decayed and aging form. B, your sculpture looks magnificent gleaming in the sunlight!
