Aspen Run

14.5x10.5 watercolor on gessoed matboard done this afternoon from one of my New Mexico photos of a row of aspens glistening gold in the morning sun.  I've exaggerated the background adding more darks as if there were green foliage behind.  A highway was in between that and the trees so I have made that more blue as if it was water.  Not as many red leaves were there in real life either.
