Working in my studio today......An autumn painting from photographs taken along route 36 on my way towards Montpelier, Idaho in October 2013.  I had painted one similar to this one several months ago which is shown in an earlier blog posting.  On this particular painting I used a Yellow Ochre Gouache to achieve a more opaque feel in the aspen trees...
