I love walking through the woods searching for a glimpse of nature that consists of a little something extra, what I call ‘a purple leaf’ or inspiration, for my natural still life colored pencil artworks. I am fascinated by natural objects composed by nature, time and conditions that reveal this uniquely beautiful but seldom noticed natural world. The aesthetic beauty of leaves, diverse in types, shapes and colors, combined with elements of earth, water and stone, are my purple leaf and the reason I love to discover nature within each and every forward step . Frank Lloyd Wright said it best: “Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.”
