some baby oak leaves




While on a morning walk with Ceilidh this week, I noticed these very small leaves on a new branch of an oak tree. They were beginnjng to green up nicely, but first they had a burnt orange-red tinge . . . a hint of autumn color to come.

This small sketch is Noodler's red-black ink (water-soluble) and watercolor on blue Bockingford Tints 140 lb. watercolor paper.

    Such a lovely piece! And yes, I love how so much of spring's burgeoning is a mirror of autumn's evolution. :)

    Oak leaves are so pretty when tiny ... yours are too.

      Thanks, Elva! New growth of all kinds is lovely --- Now we are seeing baby rose leaves open after deer ate everything else. That was unexpected after a full year of blooming roses. I suppose much of what they normally graze on is still underwater with the flooded Lake Somerville.
