Aspen Grove

The painting “Aspen Grove” was inspired by an early morning drive to Kolob Reservoir, capturing the transition from fall to winter. With all the leaves fallen from the Aspen trees, their stark silhouettes beautifully contrasted against the soft morning Sky. I spent the morning hiking and photographing the trees along the reservoir's edge, reflecting on how to convey the emotions I felt and capture the stunning beauty of the scene on canvas.

This painting depicts a serene arrangement of Aspen trees along the bank of Kolob Reservoir in Southern Utah, just outside of Zion National Park. Set in the early morning of late fall, just after the leaves have fallen, the artwork evokes a sense of calm as winter approaches. “Aspen Grove” is brought to life with vibrant hues of cool blues, lush greens, soft pinks, warm oranges, and rich browns. This piece was created in October 2024, capturing the tranquil beauty of the changing seasons.

Aspen Grove is available to view in my studio by appointment and prints are available in my online shop.
