20 Paintings in 5 Days - Painting One

So the challenge begins! We're here on Whidbey Island with our Northwest Pastel Society Group of over 30 painters. I arrived Wednesday late afternoon. This is my first piece painted from a photo I shot on my way over Stevens pass of a stand of aspens. Love aspen stands. The way the trunks stand tall and proud. The leaves quivering in the breeze and especially the dark spots on the trunks.
I strive to keep my work quite expressionist with abstract leanings.
This studio piece is 8x8" on Wallis Museum  SOLD
