Silver birch sprid on white paper, showing several catkins and pairs of leaves, pointing from right to left on the page. There are 4 loose leaves at the base of the sheet, and two in the upper right hand corner. This makes it look a bit like the leaves are fluttering down to earth after being blown off the twig in the wind.
This is a sprig of #Silverbirch #Betula pendula I painted years ago
I was messing about on photoshop, and just like the way it looked with unattached leaves.
Something as inconspicuous as a twig with #leaves can make a really interesting and challenging subject.
