Touch of Autumn 白楊秋色

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.
