Leaves

I'm dreaming of summer. My garden is covered with a thick layer of snow, and it's hard to believe that in two months the snow will be gone and green leaves will be growing everywhere in the trees and on the ground. To celebrate this miracle, and as a tribute to Mother Nature's diversity in creating all those fantastic forms of plants, I challenge you to make a piece of art with the theme "Leaves".

All kinds of art goes here: digital and manual, 2D and 3D, any technique and material is welcome. All you have to do, after creating your piece, is to post your art on your blog or other site. Next, leave a link to your work using our link feature below, or by adding a comment with a link to your site in our "comments" section. 

I'm adding here three images of leaves, which you can use in your piece if you want to, but you can use any other images just as well. The first image is from an old botanic book, the next one is a strawberry leaf which I have scanned and saved, and the last one is adrawing I've made in the big greenhouse in the Botanical Garden in Helsinki.

 Come and celebrate with me Mother Nature's diversity !
