A thank you to all the hosts!
I'm enjoying this little red leaf, because leaves just started yellowing in my neighborhood. No other leaves turning red yet! Underneath some pinkish flowers from a bush that hubby found in the yard of one of the houses he was working in. All put together on yellow art paper, that I keep in stock for sudden inspiration, or little kiddies coming over. Voila, the ingredients for this little, what could be called "an art installation," which is a 3D art work .

For some reason I keep posting my paintings at Art Notes and Artistique, but this little painting fits in the context of the little leaf. Last year I painted a watercolor at the same site 9yosemite, at Happy Isles), but felt I had not captured all this beautiful scene had. So, this is the Knotty Tree revisited in oil, with a little of the blue sky, and the gushing water around it.Enjoy!
Am adding on little clouds, which would fit with the rainy weather right now (you know rain is a big thing in California:) ) for Sky Watch and Weekend Reflection (sun's reflection on the clouds).
Have a great week, mes amis!

Awesome photos and great painting ~ Fun! ~thanks, namaste, A Creative Harbor ~ linked with Mellow Yellow Monday.
What a lovely composition. The colors are so fall-like.
That tree looks as though it will have its roots washed away by the torrent.
Ah Jeannette ... Even if I didn't know what an AMAZING artist you are ... I would have known it by looking at your beautiful leaf arrangement!!!
I do remember this tree from before, and I like it in oils too!!!
I hope you have a wonderful week!
I love the little leaf, and the tree
you create such lovely things

To create is in my blood. Can you believe it? But it's true, when I don't do art for some time, I get grumpy!
Both are nice, the creation for the shot and the painting. Very creativ.
Lovely! You are multi-talented -- thanks for sharing both photo and painting with us.

I like your pairing. And your leaf arrangement is pretty!
Carola,
Really enjoyed your posts about the street theater in Dortmund. Do these artists have a You Tube video?

Art is so much a part of me that I would do it whether it draws a crowd or none:)But still, thank you!

I really enjoyed your painting! What a wonderful scene.
Lovely painting! I hope to try this one day, even if I flops big time. At least I can then say, I did it with no regrets.

Kim,
Thank you, Kim! The first one could call an "installation" which is a 3D version of an artwork.
Rebecca,
Thank you for taking time to comment -I know you have a very busy life!
Carola,
They are worth a few posts! Thanks for the alert:)
JDaniel4's Mom,

I love your oilpainting,Jeannette! The tree is so strong in spite of being knotty.
Thanks for sharing.

How wonderful to be able to create like this. Very nice...
Oh, those clouds have silver linings, wonderful!
Reader Wil,
Thank you! Each year I'm amazed it's still standing there, in the water.

Thank you! Has the weather cooled off yet? Like your hair very much on this profile pic!
Ellen,
Thank you ! I hopped over to your blog, and I can vaguely remember that I've been there before (for yummy recipes of course:) )
Inger,
Most clouds here do not have a silver lining here like the expression goes, so when I saw them, I drove a few streets further to get a good look at them:) - Jesh
Beautiful post.
Regards and best wishes
Different works of art, beautiful all of them.
If rain is a big deal, come east, you will quickly become bored, DAMHIK.
I love the red leaf and the oil painting it so beautiful.
Nice shot of the sky :)
