Painting Collage Doodles - Autumn Leaves

I don't know what got me thinking of Autumn,

when I love and look forward to Summer so much. 

Perhaps it was the colours in the scarf I was wearing

But then someone shared this on Facebook.

Which sent me to this Pinterest Page

and I was inspired to pick up those pens 

and water brush, and have a little play.

As I've been telling myself for a long time,

I really must get round to making an Art Journal,

I thought I would at least draw and paint 

some Doodle Leaves

to perhaps add to the front.

Then I got to thinking 

that I could, if I made a few of these

and cut them out....

make some sort of collage.

for the front.....

And here's the little pile I created...

I think they'll look fab on a book....

Then I took the design and added to it....

My art Journal seemed appropriate

and encouraging,

at least it's a start......

And of course.... ever the eternal caution filled Pixie,

I scanned and printed a couple out, just in case...

If I don't use them,

 I'm sure I can find someone else that will

And I'll probably add some of those loose leaves

to make the design even bigger
