Last year I made this series of leaves for #inktober. They are leaves I picked up from my yard each day. I filled the blemishes in the leaf with 18k gold leaf. All sold, but the last image (swipe), and I think that one is the most majestic of them all! It is a leaf that was eaten up by caterpillars, and it reminds everyone of a tree... a visual example of fractals in nature and how one thing can remind us of another. This series helped as preparation for my painting Photosynthesis. . . . . . . . #inktober2018 #inktober2019 #throwback #art #artstudio #painting #goldleaf #inkpainting #handmadeink #worksonpaper #gilded #gildedart #Kintsugi #kintsugiart #aging #transition #transitionart #insects #nature #tree #trees #botanicalart #botanical #painting #kalamazoo #photosynthesis #lakemichigan #grandrapids #geandrapidsartist https://www.instagram.com/p/B3j2rRPnWeY/?igshid=19c3vc1nqxxnv
