Especially these little guys, that are delicate now but will eventually become tall, strapping aspens.Sonya Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01879889885162011649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640331618261060721.post-41772010493781581052012-01-24T12:08:52.965-05:002012-01-24T12:08:52.965-05:00Beautiful Sonya.

Just love it. :)Crystal Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06665844725894074136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640331618261060721.post-81464508433188231842012-01-24T10:59:37.486-05:002012-01-24T10:59:37.486-05:00Hi Cindy - I totally agree about the snow and shad...Hi Cindy - I totally agree about the snow and shadows: it is ALL about the shadows! Thank you much for stopping by. I went to look for your aspen painting on your blog and website, but didn't see it!<br /><br />Hi Gabrielle - I know, right? I have lived where winters were gray and dreary, but it's definitely not here in CO! I see amazing colors when I'm outdoors in winter, and this stand of young aspen definitely had it going on :).Sonya Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01879889885162011649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640331618261060721.post-33709351103130414532012-01-24T10:39:45.574-05:002012-01-24T10:39:45.574-05:00People think of winter as being so dreary and gray...People think of winter as being so dreary and gray, yet look at all of the delicious colors in this scene!

Yes, we are kindred souls in this regard, aren't we? One of my favorite things of winter, these trees and their shadows.<br /><br />Helen, Carol, LeAnn and Susan - thank you all so much for your comments!<br /><br />Hi Casey - actually, I'm going to be doing a guest artist exhibit at a local gallery here in town in Feb, and I'm planning on including some of these winter studio pieces I've been doing, along with some plein air work. There are a few other opportunities that may arise in the near future as well :).
