Aspen at Night
18" x 18"
Oil on Wood Panel Board
Sold

This painting represents the calmness I search for in every painting. It looks almost monotonal, however there are many colors within. I wanted it recognizable with some depth, but not realistic. This is the first of three paintings that I hope remain together as a triptych. As usual it looks better in person rather than a jpeg on a computer screen. This one and the other two are completely original and I have sold the entire triptych. There is a lot that goes into these. The each panel for example costs $22, I frame them all in moulding which is easily removed if one wants to put a frame of their choice on. The oil paints and gesso are the best you can buy, I use Galkyd for faster drying times and the effect of gumminess while painting, and they are all varnished with 3 coats. A lot of time goes into a painting. And then taking pictures and publishing it takes additional time. That's the way it goes and it is more fun than anything I've ever done in life. I used to be an ultrasound tech, a profession where you make pictures of the inside of a human body and that was a combination of science and art as well.

This painting is finished and ready to sell. If one wishes to purchase it please visit Etzy.com and type in WillScoggins search under "Sellers". Thank you for your attention.
