The Poetry of Trees.
The subjects of this new series of paintings are trees. Trees are my figures and their forms are prominent in this series. These paintings depict a favorite area of mine in Colorado. I spent thirty years in Colorado and although I was not born there, I consider myself a native. The aspen scenes I’ve painted here are from the Shadow Mountain area near Grand Lake which is the western gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park. Fall is a magical time in the rockies, you can drive along quiet roads and stop the car at any point to view the spectacle of aspen.
