Wilted Hosta and Oak Leaves

Black & White Photograph

Created by Russ Martin

The leaves are wilted, having been hit by the first frost of the season, and the scene is sprinkled with fallen oak leaves. Printed on matte paper using archival pigment inks. It is titled, numbered, signed, and dated on the front in pencil.
