Leaf on Fire

And here we go.. my (most likely) last leaf for this Fall Season. I was looking for some subjects for my Sketchbook project which title is Down My Street and I found this little treasure laying on a ground and looking so pretty that I couldn't resist to paint. It is surprising how almost rotten, practically half eaten and torn apart object can be so attractive and beautiful :) .................
