2017.11: Leaves, Meschers
PhotographsSlender branches reach down into view from top left to top middle-right in the foreground. The end of each branch produces eight or so small stems which each hold individual, rounded, heart shaped leaves that show black against a bright sky behind it. One of the longest branches reaches down to the lower right, but most are clustered in the top third of the piece. In the lower left and lower right corners, tall trees with foliage can be seen in the distance, and a narrow black line borders the piece.
