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.

Aspen Tree Painting by Jill Saur

My 40"x30", acrylic aspen tree painting, "Autumn Gold", is all about the path we choose to follow in life. Aspens are amazing trees. I call them "The Giving Trees", because they are deeply connected to one another under the ground. They are even able to grow a new tree from the offshoot of one of their roots.  Although we are connected to other people in so many different ways, we all must choose the path that we are to personally follow.

This original painting is sold.  However, a beautiful hand-embellished giclee (limited edition) is available on my website.  I invite you to become one of my happy patrons!

...it is winter here... 36x36 Oil on canvas Mark Malone

Another in my series of Aspen paintings. This is the first winter scene that I have done.

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.
