Lately I have really enjoyed interior design and mural painting, most of it has been for myself or friends and family, but nonetheless, something really excites me about the prospect of having a whole wall as a canvas!

I created this painting on location in September. The process took about 3 hours and I did not add anything in the studio. I used Daniel Smith watercolors and Arches 140 lb cotton cold press paper block. The moon was actually there, slightly more to the east and it presented an interesting and almost surreal backdrop to the setting. The aspen leaves made a beautiful song in the breeze and the distant peak rose solemnly in contrast with the happy fall colors. I try to convey a sense of place with this painting evoking the feelings I had while being there.
