Glazed Leaves

Painting by Vicky Christensen, acrylic on 16 X 12 inch canvas panel

Last fall my brother-in-law took a photo of some brightly colored leaves that I vowed to paint. I got the idea that it might work to use glazes and negative painting to make an abstract painting based on the photo. My original intention was to paint in "sky holes" of blue between the leaves, but I ended up liking the dark, moody feel of the painting, so here it is without the sky holes.
