Aspen Thrills

After learning this week that I have been invited to paint at the 2017 Red Brick Plein Air Festival in Aspen this August, I was eager to get outside and paint plein air again. I found a perfectly limey green aspen scene not far from home, and I set up by the side of the road and went to it. Wonderful to be outside with the birdsong and quaking aspen. I ended up tweaking my painting quite a bit after I got home...usually it's best to just leave it alone!
