Georgia O'Keefe-style Leaves
Heavy Outline
Happy September!
I love the Fall most of all.
It's the season that I was the biggest bellied and waiting for my daughters to arrive, so it echoes joy and anticipation. I'm obsessed with the colour palette, the heavy smell of Shanghai Osmanthus, the harvest colours, abundance, shorter days and slower pace...not least of all how it will be especially fantastic to witness O & C's First Canadian Autumn.

To celebrate the first of September, I found this easy art project http://www.deepspacesparkle.com/2013/10/10/leaf-paintings/, which involves little lessons in nature as well as art history http://www.okeeffemuseum.org/.
When I had a quick second, I prepped the art table with these leaf outlines (above).
A little inspiration from O's nature collection and references from the book 'Trees of Ontario'.
O was in the room and starting to colour before I could finish the outlines!
