Fall color from the computer, the view from my window

Most of the leaves are from this birch tree and the neighbors maples and oak. While everyone else would be raking them up I walk around out there trying to find some really pretty ones to scan or paint.

It's pretty easy to see why a lot of people loose patience with artists. We just don't look at the world the way that everyone else does. When I watch TV I notice the soundtrack, the set design or the way it's shot, I hardly notice the characters or the action in the rest of the program.
