I wear two hats with different names: Madison Woods when I’m wearing the artist hat, Roxann Riedel in real life and real estate. I'm a rock-smashing paint-making artist & a sales agent for Montgomery Whiteley Realty. Hailing from the wild Ozarks in Kingston, Arkansas where my husband and I work toward a sustainable lifestyle.

You can text or call to reach me by either name (see above):

Nature Sketching Day 3 – Sycamore Leaf

Each day I’ve picked what I think will be a simple subject. Today’s was a single sycamore leaf with no effort to include background, foreground or any other difficult or distracting thing.

Then as I settled in and began my art I entered the deep observation mode. Did you know there are hundreds of tiny clearly visible veins in a single leaf? There’s no way I’d have time to draw all those details in the short amount of time allotted to this task. So I decided to worry about the main ones and focus more on color.

So color is another issue altogether.

Turned out that my simple leaf wasn’t so simple after all. Perhaps nothing ever is.
