Aspens- Ridgetop

Aspens- Ridgetop

22 x 7, oil

The lovely white tree trunks of an aspen always seem to steal the show. Even in this painting, with fall colors in their leaves and in the ground cover, the white barks in the sunlight are memorizing. View more of my paintings on my website- SpohnStudio.com

Aspens- Poncha Pass 2

7 x 22, oil

This is the second painting in this series. I kept the grasses a bit lighter than my photo reference. I like the brightness and feeling of the sunny day.

Aspens on Poncha Pass 1

7x22, oil

This is the first painting in a series of four aspen paintings all painted on the same size wood panel. I tried to look for more unusual aspens,with twisted trunks or a curve in their trunks and focus on using those images for this painting.
