Alpine Loop

Last month, Maureen and I had the opportunity to take the scenic route home from Heber City through Provo Canyon and over the Alpine Loop dropping us down into American Fork Canyon. Wow, the colors were strikingly brilliant, especially the aspens and maples! I just had to come home and paint it!

Maureen's niece and her daughters came up from So. Cal. to visit us that next week and they (the two girls) helped me block in the rich shadows of the under painting. I later finished up the details ... sure hope I was able to capture a hint of the grandeur and explosion of color that we experienced!
