Blue Shadow Aspens

Blue Shadow Aspens is a walk through the woods when the world feels still and everything glows. These white-barked trees stood tall and gentle as I painted them, their dappled trunks catching bits of light, their canopies spilling over in radiant greens. But it was the forest floor—blanketed in deep blues and velvety purples—that gave this painting its soul. I imagined the hush of wind in the leaves, the coolness of shade, the hush of solitude. This is a piece about wonder—the kind you find not in grand gestures, but in the quiet beauty of a moment in nature, perfectly held.
