Northern Hills of Aspen: Print

Northern Hills of Aspen Oil painting of a landscape in Alaska during the autumn depicting yellow aspen trees. This view is from an overlook in the wilderness of the far north in the arctic, looking off across vast plains of taiga that lead to tundra. Far across the scenic expanse a distant mountain looms in the collective mist of the northern air. A long expanse of meadows, fields and hills seem to lead to it like a giant pathway. The bright glow of the trees is like a calm fire as they shimmer and wave in the passing wind. The soft dreamlike skies drift silently past as the pastel light flows over the gilded forest. Under the rough grass is a hidden maze of tussocks and water, covered in wild turf. Down the hills and over the untamed pathways are many twists and turns. They lead to the unknown landmarks along the way and then to the lone peak in the far away horizon. It is a bright day in a wild and cold land, getting towards the end of the mildest time of year. The scenery is boundless. As the fresh air blows from the far reaching plains below, the mountain seems to call from afar and beckon to come and find all that lies between.
