Red Leaves (Oil Bar Painting as of October 22, 2013)

Red Leaves (Oil Bar Painting as of October 22, 2013), a photo by randubnick on Flickr.

This is my oil bar painting of red leaves as it looked on October 22. I was almost done, but continuing to repaint and clean up lines. I was also in the process of sealing the edges of the canvas. At the last minute, I decided to try to make one of the leaves translucent, as if overlapping one of the branches, as in the reference photo (posted here September 25). I liked the idea, but wasn't sure if I should keep it that way. . . .
