I have always wanted to paint the gorgeous Aspen trees and camping at Bridger-Teton National forest in Wyoming, I had a great opportunity. I did a small plein air sketch and then I decided to do a larger piece in the studio based on the sketch.

Back home in the Studio.

You can see the small plein air study as a refrence and I also have a photograph image. The challenge is to keep the freshness of the sketch and the natural color.

Time to stop. I feel like the finished work has everything that is needed.
