Tumble Weed. 8 x 8 gouache & real leaf.
Woody has discovered some Tumble Weed in the desert... better than a snake in his boot. Hee hee. This leaf was disassembled to form a Cannacacti!
I didn't coat the leaf on top as to avoid the shine.
I'm pleased with this painting, it turned out exactly as I imagined it.
I think 'Tumble Weed' would ben a great name for an Arizona dispensary. I become excited to see these complete but I have to make sure the painting is dry, before I glue on the leaves. It's amusing how each work inspire another idea... I've already sketched the next in my mind, then I paint it, imagining each shade and layer so that when I actually sit at my desk - it's 'almost' effortless. Essentially, I get double the enjoyment, painting the painting. It's been a while since I've seen Toy Story, I remember when it came out - a new level of animation had been achieved, the 'bar' raised once again.
I have quite the supply of dried leaves left so I should be able to make a few more creations.
Enjoy this day The Lord has made!
Have a terrific weekend - get out an enjoy the trees & leaves before they disappear once again.
