First Leaves of October




It is the first day of October and the second last day of term. These two leaves were painted for two of the Year 4 girls, both named Mekaela. They were desperate to get their leaves before the end of term.
.

"Otherwise we have to wait a whole 'nother two weeks!"
.

I didn't want to disappoint so I set up this afternoon to finish off both paintings.
.

The first Mekaela wanted a white kitten with a pink bow. Since I had already painted one kitten for Sophie, I decided to do something a little different this time. I painted the kitten sitting up among the toys on the toy shelf.
.

The other Mekaela asked for a koala. That seemed quite appropriate, painting a koala and some gum leaves on a gum leaf.
.

It also seemed appropriate because my family and I are off on holidays in November to Port Macquarie and we are planning visits to the native animal sanctuary and the koala hospital during the trip.

  1. Very unusual but beautiful, detailed art. The koala looks like it belongs on the leaf!
