aspens- variations on a theme

So I realized I forgot to post there- I did them all about 2 weeks ago. I used to get very bogged down in the painting process trying to decide which colors to put where—there are always so many options.  About two years ago I finally realized the best way through it was to let myself explore all the options- so that is what I did with the aspens. Different foregrounds, backgrounds, roughly the same composition. It was fun. the navy night aspens are one of my new favorites (the navy is the most delicious paint color ever- by maimeri)
