The Foundation of a Painting is in the Knowing

Roots of an aspen painting – first the skiing, observing, driving my partner cuckoo by stopping to take photos. Then the rough, fun collage backgrounds… stay tuned for the paint throwing.

The foundation of most of my paintings, is interaction

After really looking at the aspen trees, comes rough collaged compositions

I’m looking forward to doing a tall, elegant version of these beautiful trees, once I’ve experimented on the little studies
