Thankful!

Just in time for fall!  Great ‘thankful’ cards for all occasions – from fall wedding thank you cards to teacher appreciation cards.  Sometimes when I start a painting, I have a clear idea as to what it will look like.  However, on other occasions, the painting takes over and leads me down a beautiful path I would never have imagined.  When I started this painting, I wanted to focus on the leaves with the ‘thankful’ theme.  After the painting was complete, I took another glance at it and noticed the positioning of the leaves and the interplay with the blue negative space.  What an optical illusion!  Some people see a figure in the middle of the leaves – I call him the dancing man.

Every time I see this image, I am so thankful!
