See the forest for the trees...the aspen trees! Similar to a recent painting, Summer Aspens, I painted a different background. I am experiementing with various compositions for a larger painting. This 8 x 8 square painting can be purchased through my website using PayPal or through my Etsy site.
At summer's end, the aspens give one last burst of brilliant greens before the turn of the season.

I’m an avid hiking as well as an artist. Therefore I follow many art and artist’s blogs as well as hiking and outdoor blogs. I’ve recently started following Lady on a Rock. It’s a great blog about hiking and the author is also a teacher who is hiking the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) in segments. Hiking a thru-trail such as the PCT or Appalachian Trail (AT) is a dream/goal of mine. But first on my bucket list, and much more manageable, will probably be the Wonderland Trail in Washington (93 miles) and the Tahoe Rim Trail (165 miles).
Anyway, Lady on a Rock created a beautiful photo slide show and video of the Eastern Sierras for a recent post entitled Falling for Fall. I was so inspired by her lovely images that I asked her if I could use some of them as inspiration for a painting and she graciously agreed. Over the weekend I painted this 8 x 10 study based on one of her photos. I think it captures the radiant glow of autumn nicely. It’s available here or on my Etsy page.
I am pleased to announce my painting, Hungarian Cottage, Village of Tihany received an honorable mention award in the Arizona State Fair's professional fine art division. The exhibition runs through Nov 4, 2012. I have 3 works juried in the show.

Aspens of Inner Basin is a mini painting - an ACEO, which stands for Art Cards, Editions and Originals (aka artist trading cards). This is an original oil on canvas paper with a 1/2 inch border for easy matting and framing. I painted this after a hike on the Inner Basin Trail in northern Arizona - in the San Francisco Peaks near Flagstaff.
