Morning Aspens

This is a 30x40 oil painting on a narrow canvas, making it easy to frame. It was inspired by one of my trips to New Mexico.

This painting has been through a lot of travel. It is now safely back at my home and ready to hang on someone's wall.

Twilight in the Canyon 24x30...Oil on Canvas Mark Malone

Experimental, transitional period between realism and abstraction.

Aspen Grove 24x36 Oil Mark Malone

A departure for me. I wanted to mix realism (the aspens) with a non-traditional background.

Golden Aspen 36x48 Oil on Canvas Mark Malone

This is another foray into my Aspen Series. I really like the way this piece turned out. When painting it, I mistakenly picked up a tube of burnt sienna instead of Van Dyke Brown when working on the trunks. I realized my mistake pretty quickly, but liked the way it was coming together. Frequently, I will have such happy little accidents. This piece has been accepted for entry into the Artists of Texas show this fall at The Dutch Art Gallery, here in Dallas. Wish me luck!

Revised and finished... Aspen Series IV 36x48 Oil on Canvas Mark Malone

I made a few changes to this piece. I brought the height of the tress in the center up and covered some of the trunks with foliage. It was done with lots of impasto and for the most part using a palette knife. It is gallery wrapped and painted on the sides, so no frame is necessary.

I do not know why I felt compelled to put in a rock formation on the right, but I did. The jury is out on this one.
