Gold In The Mountains #2 ~ 11 x 14 Oil Pastels, framed 22 x 26 inches
Poplar Trees (Aspen) in the Rocky Mountains during Autumn display large golden-yellow masses of leaves, represented here with strokes in diagonal direction. Tree trunks are marked vertically across the entire page, grounding the drawing as a whole compositionally. The green-black portion displays the vertical growth of evergreens. Less obvious are the horizontal strokes I felt were appropriate for the mountain, softening its nature and place it back in distance.
