Gold In The Mountains 02

April 2, 2006


 

Gold In The Mountains, Kananaskas Valley, Alberta, Canada 14 x 11 inches oil pastels on paper
Gold In The Mountains 02, Kananaskas Valley, Alberta, Canada, 11H x 14W oil pastels on paper, 3-inch-wide white double mat and 26H x 22W inch white custom-built white wood frame with crackle finish.
Aspen / Poplar trees in the Rocky Mountains during Autumn display large yellow-gold leaf masses, represented here with strokes in a diagonal direction. Textures in varying directions add interest, as in tree trunks  marked vertically across the entire page, grounding the drawing as a whole with regard to composition. The green-black portion displays the vertical growth of evergreens.  Horizontal strokes were appropriate for the mountain, with the golden glow of distant poplars softening its nature and place it back in distance.
