Since childhood, I am in love with nature and I love to keep nature pressed in books. This time I wanted to go beyond, when I was walking around the new neighborhood I found so many big leaves, so I started to collect leaves during autumn, and suddenly I started to paint on them.
I work with acrylics and ink on the dry leaves.
I love the idea of keeping nature as art and preserve nature giving it a second chance to live.

This is Frida Kahlo, a world famous artist originally from Mexico(female, by the way). And yes, she has a unibrow. This artwork here is a replica of a self portait (a very, very famous one) that Frida painted.

Love it!!!!!!!! Except, I would want to but I live in Australia and there are no leaves like that so... Also I agree Hannah Hollowell, if it crumbled to dust I'd probs cry for weeks...
These paintings are beautiful in and of themselves. The fact that they are painted on a rough, uneven, delicate canvas adds to my amazement. Thanks for sharing these, you are quite talented.
Love them! I am trying asap! Do you spray something or what keeps them from totally drying out and turning to flakes?
I love all of these!!!!!! The only thing though is I'd be afraid that they'd crumble or break???
