I was touched by the quirky beauty of this ancient giant. While I was wondering what he might have seen, and how old he might be. I also realised that here in Cape Town not many signs of the season are to be seen other than on this fellow.
With my attempt to embrace autumn, which in this weather is a walk in the park, the oak trees have stuck out, their autumn colour show is gorgeous and since lots of tree are ever green around here, they are of the few celebrating autumn!
This led to me taking (tons of) photos of oak trees and leaves in last few days.
Yesterday I started painting into my notebook that has been laying around for months... ( instead of cleaning)
Today I added another little painting
I decided to see where all this takes me and just go with the flow. Will try and paint a little sketch everyday...
There will be more autumn photo daily over at the Viewing Glass.

Great paintings!!
I find watercolours so difficult to work with...
For someone who has no experience in painting, your sketches are pretty awesome. Watercolour is HARD to control - good for you!
