Autumn Impasto

This brand new oil painting was inspired by an autumn hike in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. I used lots of oil paint with a pallet knife to achieve the impasto.  I love to hike in Rocky Mountain National Park, especially in the fall.  There is nothing like a crisp, sunny day to enjoy the Aspen change.

Kebler Pass

Kebler Pass Gold (oil)
Late last September I had the good fortune to spend a long weekend near Crested Butte, Colorado.  The aspens were at their prime in select areas including the drive over Kebler Pass.  There is something magical about autumn in the Rocky Mountains.  This is where I took the reference photo for this new oil "Kebler Pass Gold".   This original oil painting on  thick museum wrapped canvas has plenty of impasto. "Kepler Pass Gold" measures 12" x 6" and is for sale.
