Aspens give me a special feeling whenever I see them along my travel journey. This painting depicts the beauty of the backyard of a famous artist, Walt Gonske, in Taos, NM. It was a beautiful sunny day. We were fortunately doing plein air paintings on his property and also got a chance to meet the artist. The autumn colors of the aspens touched my heart in this painting.

Country Jamboree 鄉村樂曲
We spent a week in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, visiting the beautiful Grand Tetons and Yellowstone national parks and the surrounding areas in June 2014. The art exhibited in galleries here were outstanding. I was inspired by many amazing paintings done by the current and past artists. On the last evening before heading home we took a chuck wagon ride called Bar T Five. This was the first time I rode on a wagon pulled by horses and it was quite fun, At the end of the trail we were served with the delicious BBQ meal and a nice country musical performance by a band of 4 people. This cowboy, painted here, was the lead violinist. I took several snap shots using my i-phone. This one came out with beautiful lights and shapes. I have captured the moment with this painting.
