The Leaves Were Electric Red (Fall Fantasy 2)

The Leaves Were Electric Red (Fall Fantasy 2) Originally uploaded by randubnick

Today I was up in Beverly Farms with my daughter for a quick errand and a walk with the dog. On the way home, I noticed a beautiful tree with autumn colors. The leaves were an electric red! I was driving, so I couldn't take a picture. But the image stayed with me. So tonight I decided to create another "fall fantasy" at the computer, so I opened Painter IX and made this image using digital pastel. I worked from memory and imagination, and it was fun to create the swirling leaves on my computer screen. It was a nice way to relax after a hectic day!
