a perfectly cooperative subject

Repetition of form and gradation in color: smoke bush leaves are this flat-lay artist’s dream subject. Today I cranked out three compositions using the leaves from just two branches.  The compositions are so different, and I like each one so much that I plan to share all three with you. I don’t typically do that. If I make multiple compositions from the same subject, I usually choose one favorite to share. this time I am making an exception. Because…..smoke bush.
