Through the Aspen Trees

This is a new studio painting I did live on Tik Tok. Fall is coming up on us and I wanted to capture the feeling of being in an aspen forest with the golden fall leaves. I also wanted to convey the feeling of thick under brush that the elk has to negotiate his way through. This painting is 18" x 24" oil on canvas.

I've been going through a few changes with my art the last couple of years. I've switched up the way I use my color pallet and paying a lot more attention to the placement of warm verses cool colors. I've also been doing a lot more plein air painting which has greatly increased my knowledge of how things work in nature. If you desire to be an artist I highly recommend plein air painting. I have also been working on texture and edges a lot more. Trying to be more subtle in my approach.

If you'd like to purchase this piece it's $864 unframed. Still trying to decide if I want to sell prints of this one. It will depend on if I get any requests for them or not. Thanks for following my website.
