Lover's Leaf
I have the most beautiful Chinese Maple in front of my house. Early spring weather has brought it into full bloom already. It’s magnificent and as usual I attempted to see if I could express its beauty. Sometimes that’s the problem with painting nature. It’s almost impossible to make it as beautiful. In fact, my teacher once said; if you can’t improve it then don’t change it. Ha, that sounds like the judges talking to the contestants on American Idol. They always think they can make it better than the original creator. Yet, when I create landscape paintings, I just wish I could give you a piece of what I see, a morsel of God, the passion, the brilliance, the colors.
This is my 16th painting for my #paint52 challenge. The painting measures 24″ X 36″ Atelier Interactive acrylic on a museum wrapped canvas (Framing isn’t needed). Available for purchase $2016. Thanks so much for visiting.
oh yeah…beautiful painting! I do so enjoy your work!
Lovely work, Janet. I’m not sure what a Chinese maple is, but we have Japanese Maples in Canada. They are a piece of poetry unto themselves and I bet they are very much the same as the JM’s. The first time my daughter saw one, she said…WOW! I didn’t know there were purple trees in our world!
Janice, thank you so much. Lol, I get confused too with the difference between the Japanese Maple and the Chinese. In fact, this just maybe a Japanese. They both have similar coloring, but the Chinese may be a little smaller. I have to go check that out. The color was spectacular this year, and it changed day by day.
Jeanie thank you and you know how much I love your work as well. Thanks so much for leaving a comment I really appreciate it.
Just beautiful Janet! You do such nice work!
