The side of my house is covered in Virginia Creeper, an ivy that creates layers of beautiful leaves. In the fall, they turn to purples, reds, oranges and pinks. This painting is part of my “Autumn’s Glory” collection that celebrates both the natural patters of the leaves layered on top of one another and the colors of fall.

In this piece, I wanted to play with rendering the leaves in detail out to flat shape. There are some areas where I have tight detail and other areas where the shape is simple and even flattened. It's a symphony of color and shape even more than it's a depiction of a real plant.
