LEAVES Series
As summer ends and autumn arrives, and the days get shorter and shorter, trees get ready to rest. The bright green pigment disappears from the leaves and as it fades away, the quiet green palette of summer foliage is transformed into the vivid autumn palette of reds, oranges, gold and browns before the leaves fall off to the ground. In reality, small amounts of these colors have been in there all along, but now they are unmasked and leaves can show their true colors. It is Nature’s multicolored autumn farewell. And we in our crazy pace of life crunch and crackle them under our feet often giving ourselves no time to delight in the awesome spectacle of their beauty.
