More Leaves

The first paining is Horse Chestnut (Conkers), I have always been fascinated  by them, the way the outer shell splits when the nut is ripe.

The second are pencil drawings, I have been looking for curled leaves as these are far more challenging to draw.

Im not sure what the first leaf is and I didn't spend much time on this I only wanted to get a feel of the way it was curving, the second is Sycamore shown from the underside, this leaf was not only fascinating

but very difficult to capture the texture.
