Turning Leaves

A few years ago I began painting autumn leaves. Because I often couldn’t decide which way they looked best, I would turn them around and around as I decided which end to put the hanger on and where to sign.

“Turning Leaves” seemed to be the perfect title for the subject. Sometimes I just amaze myself with my cleverness. I try not to laugh too loudly at my own jokes, but sometimes I have to repeat them because people don’t laugh hard enough. Sometimes they even look a bit baffled.

TURNING LEAVES – GET IT?? HAHAHAHAHA

Excuse me. Got carried away there.

New turning leaves this year:

1551 Turning Leaf IIXX
Turning Leaf IIXX, 6×6″, oil on wrapped canvas, $55 plus tax
1550 Turning Leaf XVII
Turning Leaf XVII, 6×6″, oil on wrapped canvas, $55 plus tax

These match a Turning Leaf from a year ago:

1437 Turning Leaf XIV
Turning Leaf XIV, 6×6″, oil on wrapped canvas, $55 plus tax

The title “Turning Leaf” doesn’t have the double meaning with these, because the stem gives the direction away.

Now I can’t decide if they are dogwood leaves or persimmon leaves!
