Aspen

It has been so long since I've been in the studio.  So long that all my brushes are hard as rock.  I thought I cleaned them, but clearly not enough.  Why do I repeatedly let my paint harden on my brushes?  Three or more are trash can bound.  So is my palette, a total disaster or maybe an abstract masterpiece, one or the other. Ugh.    I will try to clean my rigger in Natural turp, --that seems to work like a charm but takes some time.  The others are not worth saving.

I've been using the Simply Simmons paint brushes that are $2 regardless of size at Plaza.  They are amazing and smooth like butter.  Can't believe it.  So I recommend that if you are budgeted, that you get those brushes---while supplies last.  I found the inventory light so clearly others have the same opinion.

Anyway, here is a painting of Aspen trees.  The painting turned out okay.  Not quite what I  was aiming for, but passable.   Thanks to my friend who posted these on facebook for me to download and paint.
