Autumn leaves at Senior Center

On Monday mornings a group of art enthusiasts meet at local Senior Center.  Some paint in oils, some acrylics , some watercolors.  There are several who draw.   Some do needlework.   A new group has joined us with another teacher who supplies everything and has them painting rocks with craft paints.    During our time together we wander around to chat, and critique if asked, and just socialize.  Some if us have been there for years, some more than a decade.   Ages range from 55 to 88 currently.   Husbands and wives may come together but often are at different skill levels and interests. 

I had been drawing the brilliantly colored leaves found in the courtyard outside the art room, using colored watercolor pencils.   One day I was inspired to take my watercolors and try to capture the colors.      Here are a few.
