"Colors of Fall" copyright by Valerie Jones 7"x5" Colored Pencil on Stonehenge paper
I am finished with the leaf! It took approximately 15 hours to complete and I used 49 colors. I might change the name of the piece later to something more catchy.
Hope you are having a wonderful day!

Valerie, this is lovely...very eye-catching. Oh, the patience for 15 hours and 49 colors!
Well done.
This is exquisite. I am amazed. How did you fare in the storms. We had measurable rain, wind and lightening. Hope all is well.
Thank you Rose and Jo. We fared pretty good in the storms. A tornado was spotted two or so miles west of us but moved to the northeast. We were all scared and had our closet cleaned out to jump in at a moments notice. And all my son was worried about was if he was going to get to eat supper! LOL
Hi Valerie,
This is gorgeous! I always find that the hours one put in are well worth it. There are lots of techniques people use to speed up working with cps but for me I love the special quality that patience and time yields. You go girl!
Thank you, Teresa! I haven't found a way to speed up working with cps either. I agree that working with cps teaches people about the gift of patience and endurance.
I came back to look at this again today. It is so beautiful. When you kept working on it and said you had more to do, I thought, what else can she do. But the finish is just wonderful. Sigh..........
Thank you, Jo! I hope to have some prints and cards of this available in the next week or two on My Etsy shop.
