Description

The beautiful American Liquidambar Styraciflua tree is deciduous with lovely green leaves all spring and summer. In the fall, the leaves begin to turn gorgeous golds and reds.
The round seed pods provide food for birds.
The branch silhouettes are beautiful even without the leaves.
These trees remind me of Maple trees. In fact, many people describe them as California Maples!
I painted these leaves with watercolor pencils, using a photo I took as reference.
