Heres another try at those aspen leaves, a bit condensed and this time in oil.  I wanted to see if I could capture those same subtle grays, so effortless in watercolor.  NOT an easy thing to do, but I think I'm close.  I mentioned this the other day in Carol Marine's blog, on how important it is for an artist to play around with their palette.  Specifically by creating color charts.  I know!  That sounds suspiciously like WORK!!  But it does help you befriend your mud and turn it into something beautiful!
