Aspens- 3 Tall Aspens

Aspens- 3 Tall Aspens

oil, 22 x 7

Love painting these aspens with my painting knives. These new aspen paintings have lots of rich texture. I think they will make a nice grouping also. Visit my website, Trees, to see more of these paintings.  SpohnStudio.com

Aspens- With Friends

Apens- With Friends

22 x 7, Oil

Aspens often blend in with the color of the grasses and bushes. Everything seems to be a yellowish gold set off by the sparkling blue Colorado skies. To view more of my aspen series, visit my website: SpohnStudio.com

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--Dance With Me

Aspens- Dance With Me

22 x 7, Oil

Aspens are magical. They can be straight and tall rising to the sky with shaking leaves; or they can have twists and turns in their trunks like they were frozen while dancing in the night. This painting depicts two of those dancers.  I wonder which song they danced with so rhythmically.

Aspens Poncha Pass 2

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.

Day 21 of the Painting Challenge... Value Studies

 Only time to complete 3 value studies today. But this saves me time in the long run...
