Capturing Colorado!

Last week, my husband and I flew to Colorado to take picture of the changing leaves! What a trip. We landed in Denver, and drove about 4 hours to Aspen. We spent the next 5 days taking pictures of the gorgeous scenery. I couldn't get enough of the aspen trees! By the end of the trip we'd logged in 1500 miles in our rental car (good thing we had unlimited miles!) and took over 4,000 pictures! These photos will be the inspiration for my next series of aspen paintings...my only question is which one to paint first?! :)

"Upwards" 24 x 72--Sold!

This piece used to be a "Spring" scene with shades of green for the aspen leaves. It didn't sell...and I know why! Who decorates with green? So, I got the painting back from the Gallery, and changed all the green to tones of yellows and golds...and it sold in one day! Yellow with a vibrant blue backdrop is a great combo! Plus, I love the perspective of looking up into the tree It's very nostalgic.
