locust leaves

I picked up some yellow locust leaves on the walk recently and put them in my flower press to dry. When I checked on them they had all fallen off the stems. I thought I'd make a painting of them just as they appeared there; that's the painting below which, I don't know, lacked something.
Then for some reason I decided to make a collage in my phone of two photos of the painting, which is above, and which I kind of like ... 
This is another collage of the two photos which is not as successful. It reminds me of one of those Pennsylvania Dutch signs.

Is this your Green Man emerging in his autumnal colours? Can you print out the last image to draw into?

That's a great idea, Lisa, thank you! I never think of using technology as an aid. Though I am more and more taking a photo of a painting or drawing to be able to see what's wrong with it
