I always look at my banana trees and think they would make a great subject, but I am always intimidated by the amount of leaves. So this month I am trying to choose a subject each day that will push me out of my comfort zone and force me to try to tackle things I would normally avoid. So here they are! I started out trying to paint each leave, but luckily I came to my senses about half way through, and just painted the lights, darks and mid-tones where I saw them, and the look of leaves happened. I like this looser look too.
