Mountain music

Last Light, First Snow--9 by 12 watercolor, 140# d'Arches
Mountains are music to me, and thoughts turn to cabins and aspen in tn the high country. The first snowfall on the high peaks, the brilliant, if brief, colors of aspen--changing seasons, changing memories and years.
If I can't visit in person, at least I can with my paintbrush...finding people and memories and travels and adventures in imagination as the image takes shape. 
No wonder I love painting mountains and cabins.
