The Beauty in Death

This is a small sampling of my latest project (finally one that I'm working on just because I want to, not for any specific reason).  I wanted to capture the essense of fall, but I wasn't satisfied with what I was getting from the normal scene of fall colors on the trees.  As my mom and I were out walking one day, I saw a gorgeous leaf that had fallen from it's branches.  It was slightly dried up and at the end of it's life, but it was too beautiful to pass by.  That essentially how I got started exploring this idea of "beauty in death" and so far I've been happy with the results.  They're actually scanographs which I'm having fun with since I don't do them very often!
