Painting - Aspen Leaf Progression

Just finished a series of watercolor paintings of an aspen leaf as it changes colors in the fall.  I used the same leaf template for all four images.  The first leaf (left) is summer green.  The second is half turned from green to orange/yellow.  The third leaf is showing the peak autumn color, and the fourth is withered brown from when the season ends.

Star Wars Helmet Series

Yep...Star Wars paintings.  Why?  Because it's cool!  With the new movie coming out and an empty wall down in our "game room" I decided to do a series of quick portrait paintings of some of the characters from the Star Wars movies.  They are all villains or dark side characters because...well...their masks look awesome.  Each of these paintings was made using a palette knife instead of a brush to create the cool texture and put the paint on thick.
