Two more leaf/tree landscapes

There was enough bright natural light today, so I was able to finish the last two landscapes I'll be doing for a while.  I gave them an acrylic (faux) encaustic finish, so they would  have a muted, organic look and better match the painting in the previous post.

In this painting, I added some of that texture I love, as well as a few pieces of  dried decorative grasses from our garden.

Here's a photo I was able to take of the tree leaf/tree landscapes outside a few days ago.  The painting on the left already has the acrylic (faux) encaustic finish at this point, but the other two did not yet have it.  The faux encaustic definitely tones down the acrylic colors a bit, as you can probably see in the photos above.

A- love the Wisconsin landscape - such a lack of detail and yet it captures the dry and harsh land. Go well. B

I love the inclusion of the real leaves and grass. The texture is wonderful!
