(This is a re-post I originally put on Facebook.)

This 36x36 is geared toward tonalism.  The hues encountered are of a much narrower spectrum, limiting the blue side and focusing on the warmer side. I enjoy the aspen tree because of it's strong character and dynamic values and colors. I focus a lot on painting trees, I find that they have characters and personalities similar to people. Frequently I use them as a metaphor in describing human interaction. You may find it interesting to explore what kind of metaphor these trees represent.
