Beautifully painted, I can almost feel the breeze causing those last few leaves to flutter down, I shall be out in the garden tomorrow looking at my trees for inspiration for my own humble artistic effort.

As a Master of Impressionism said:"Do not define too closely the outlines of things;it is the brushstrokes of the right value and color which should produce the drawing". (John Rewald in his "History of Impressionism")
A perfect example here.

Painter’s notes

The wind dropped but the damage is mostly done—we are left with bare vines and the last of the tenacious oak leaves
