Oil on canvas 30 x 30 inches, in a pure gold float frame
 
I am very grateful to the private collector that purchased this oil for her collection. It is always an honor.
 
This oil was begun as a painting demonstration during my Art Workshop in Steamboat Springs, 2014. I really enjoyed going after this with full color. The sky and the colors behind the trees keep things organized, a real necessity here. 
 
There is much open brushwork, a focus on the angles in the foliage and trees, and a considerable amount of arbitrary colors to keep things on the unusual side but still fresh.
