Original No 2

 So I finally finished my 2nd original.  This one is from a picture I took when we were on holiday in Victoria, British Columbia.  It was fall and the colors were amazing.  This leaf was on a cobbled side street.  I just loved the colors and hope I have done it justice.










This is the original picture.  Hope you enjoy!
