When you live at 9300 feet, the seasons are short, except for winter! Our aspen trees will look like this in about 6 to 8 weeks. By mid-October we won't have leaves left on the trees and ski season will start at the end of October.
I finished this painting this morning, and it is the first one I have done in a month or so. It has been a very busy summer!

A wonderful painting. I love the sloping terrain.
ReplyDeleteJoanne this painting helps me get through these summer days until my autumn finally will arrive. My favorite season. Your paintings, all of them including this one, are gorgeous!!! I wish that I had a whole houseful of these wonderful paintings!!! Great artwork!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys! As you know, I love to paint fall colors and am excited that it will be here soon so I can run around and take lots of photos for future reference.
ReplyDeleteLovely piece Joanne, I also love the colours of the fall. I like the way that you handled the foreground. It has a lovely painterly feel.
ReplyDeleteJoanne, this is beautiful! Can't wait for fall colors to arrive! Fall is beautiful too bad it is so short-lived!
ReplyDeletePainterly! Now that makes my heart sing! Thanks Amanda and Lori for your visit and comments!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting, the colors and strokes. wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Becky, it is good to see you here. Aren't you in Windrush gallery in Sedona?
ReplyDeleteLove the warm aspens against the blue sky, such clear, gorgeous light at this time of year, and you captured it wonderfully Joanne!
ReplyDeleteLiz, I have been checking out your blog in detail and I love your plein air paintings! Your greens are wonderful! Thanks for your visit here...
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful. Our fall around here is not very showy but we'll just be glad to get some cooler weather after a record-breaking hot summer.
ReplyDeleteJust looking at the fall colors makes me feel good!
But you have the beach to make up for no fall color. And I have fabulous mountains, which I am still learning how to paint!
ReplyDeleteHi Joanne,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for visiting, it gave me an opportunity to revisit your lovely blog. I think we can officially state that you have learned how to paint the mountains! Love the fall colors!
I can paint the trees on the mountains, but getting more distant mountains with shape and volume is tough for me still! Thanks Claire!
ReplyDeleteRe: we have the beach... true... but I'd rather have the mountains! LOL!
ReplyDeleteGuess I need to pack my bags and head west :-)
