Leaf Ghost #68

This is the first ghost in awhile to have a back story. Sadly, the tale this time isn’t quite so light-hearted.

Last week we lost one of the trees at the college. They went to work on it on Thursday, and by the following Tuesday all that was left was a stump. And a few twigs here and there. And some leftover leaves that – based on location and condition – were among the last the tree would ever produce.

One supplied the source for this painting.

The background is wet-on-wet, and I switched to painting on dry paper for the foreground. In a couple of points I added just a little extra brush stroke to extend the tips into the background.
