Oh still behind, I had Tom staying with me for a week and we had to catch up. So I did just the minimum this week and will post it very briefly without much ado....

This was not really an assignment, just an exercise in blending, but I like the way it looks. So colorful!

Here I tried to create colors to shade a cloud.
And this is my attempt at a tree buried in autumn leaves. I used an Impressionist brush and a Distorto brush to make the leaves in Painter.
I had another try with a tree out back, and used a photo for colors. I mistook the real tree for a birch when it was actually a sycamore, so what we have is a sycamore tree painted to look like a birch tree!
