Leaves Are Fading

Description

"Leaves Are Fading -- I'll Remember You" -- pen-on-paper line drawing was scanned into computer and tinted in Corel Painter

The same line art "Hydrangea" as seen in "Blue Hydrangea" with the glory of summer season is now depicted in an autumn color scheme. This one has a lot more work gone into it with the lacy remains of the hydrangea veins in the foreground as well as within the main area of the image.

OK, so I borrowed the title from the ballet "The Leaves Are Fading" by Antony Tudor (Probably my favorite choreographer of ballet...). It's the glory of last show of color in autumn before everything goes dormant or dies as the winter steps in. Enjoying the moment, while being aware of its imminent end. The fairy, now with her dress and wings tattered, may be the one saying the words, "I'll remember you." or it could be the hydrangea that is saying that to her since the shrub will return year after year, but we don't know about the fairy...

Happy Halloween! :pumpkin:
