Eucalyptus Leaves V

Crazy bright orange new growth waving and dancing on the top of a eucalyptus tree reminding me of an intricate Calder mobile branching out to smaller and smaller leaves.

  5. I agree with Shelia...wonderful use of the negative space. The clean blue works beautifully with the bright colors. This one gives me a real feeling of space and freshness.

  8. This one's unique, Susan!

    I love the combination of fully formed leaves against the older crumbling leaves, against the new growth just beginning to emerge.

    I don't think I've ever seen someone capture a "circle of life" scene like that in painting before!

    Like all of your paintings, this has a lot of movement in it without even trying.

    The vibrant colors just top it all off and make it complete!
