MAPLE SEEDLINGS

 


Started this painting from a photo taken while our maple tree was full of these seedlings (before they turned brownish and fell all over the deck like a seedling explosion).

We called these things helicopters or whirligigs when we were kids, throwing them up into the air and watching them whirl around as they landed on the ground.  What did you call them?





Finished - added some watercolor pencil here and there to rough it up a bit.
