SOLD

I used Wallis sanded paper as the ground and a mix of soft pastels.

This is taken from a scene near Louisville, CO. I painted this a few months ago and wasn’t happy with the lighter values in the painting. I have gone back in and lightened up the painting and it works much better now. I hope you like it!

PRIVATE COLLECTION

This little painting is of a little grove of aspen on the road toward Mt. Evans, Colorado. The aspens have a root system that sends up “shoots” to make new trees. These are probably all connected by the same root system…family, so to speak!

I used Wallis sanded paper as the ground and a mix of soft pastels.

All paintings are either framed, or matted and framed. If you would like pictures of the finished product, I can send those if you are interested in a purchase. If you wish to do your own matting/framing, the painting can be sent with a protective sheet between foam core or other protective boards. The shipping costs would be less to mail in this fashion.

PRIVATE COLLECTION

This painting is from a photo my husband took on the way up to Mt. Evans. We went to see the “colors” and it was pure ‘eye-candy’ up in the mountains.
