Wisconsin Landscape
acrylic encaustic mixed media collage with leaves
on 12 x 12 wrapped canvas
I thought it would be fun to experiment with some of the gorgeous fall leaved I had dried. So I decided to see how they would look as trees in this piece. The gold represents golden corn fields, and the purple line on the horizon represents the ever-changing colors of Lake Michigan. The piece has an acrylic encaustic finish, both to protect the leaves, and to give it a more organic look and feel.

Angela, I love your leaf-trees! So very cool. Simple but dramatic and truly effective.
What a neat idea, Angela.
Stunningly simple yet powerful. I think your ribbon of deep purple bat the horizon line sets your composition off nicely too.

I agree the leaf trees in the stark but warm landscape are sublime.

I agree with Kim...that ribbon of purple makes it come alive. It captures the shock of changing fall colors.
These are lovely, I can never do something so serene, so tranquil, love the leaves-trees, how fun!
