Hannah's Bouquet

My wife, Janiel has a good friend in Colorado with a daughter, Hannah.  Hannah recently got married and, as in many cases, I decided to paint her wedding bouquet as a gift for their marriage.  This was a little difficult as I never saw the real bouquet, just a photo that a friend had taken.  But, it was enough to get me going.  The piece is now in Colorado with Hannah and she likes it a lot.  So do I !!

Colorado Aspen River

This piece is one that I created from some memories of what a river in "aspen country" might look like in the Fall, when the aspens turn golden.  Last year, I was in an aspen frame of mind and painted several pieces with aspen trees as the subject.  Those were mainly up-close views of these unique trees.  In this one, I tried to back out a bit to show the larger view.  This one will hang in our Colorado home next summer.
