Aspens And Their Environs

 

ASPEN ONE AND TWO

Watercolor, pigment marker on Rives BFK

22" x 30"

I titled this post Aspens And Their Environs because these two recent works represent

the tree and, also, everything that is going on around it. When I am drawing in the forest the 

activity surrounding the tree itself captures my attention and is as important to me as 

the apparent subject. On site paintings would include all that my eye sees, but in the studio 

 things like wind moving branches in the distance and fallen limbs leaning into neighboring

trees are represented by the energetic drawing of concentric lines and the shapes that are

randomly created by them.
