Leaf Art Alone - Visual Research

Leaves in my opinion are really beautiful by themselves but Huang Taisheng takes the yellow, green, red, brown beauties and puts a interesting and new twist on nature. With extreme detail this master takes historical figures like Marilyn Monroe and the iconic Statue of Liberty and puts them delicately on leaves that he has found just lying on the ground waiting to be noticed. He does draw other things on leaves like political leaders, Chinese calligraphy, and portraits of people that he finds are cool to draw. People can actually purchase his creations and put them anywhere as art because if this is not art I really do not know what is. This artist has got to have the steady hand and patience to do something as memorable as putting art on a leaf. He is not only connecting with his own specialties but also the specialties that is nature. Very, very cool.
