I press leaves in old phone books to dry them. Then I treat the leaf so it doesn’t shatter when I apply the paint. Once painted they are sealed again, then mounted in a shadow box frame.
I frame these unique little paintings in hand crafted shadow boxes and seem to sell them almost as fast as I paint them.
This fun painting is done in acrylic on a flower leaf - not sure what kind of flower, but one that came from the artist's garden at the end of the season.
Leaf: ~ 8x2"
Framed to: 7x13"

Owls are fascinating. They look large and gentle, but as my mother once found out when she was getting too close to the tree with a nest, they can be aggressive when they need to be.
And - ask any mouse ..... yup - they are aggressive.
