Autumn Aspen Moose Painting

My wife and I were conducting paint-night, or "paint with wine" nights as we served wine. One of the scenes I put together was a colourful misty autumn aspen forest. In my own version I added a moose, which I was hoping the observer wouldn't notice at first, which is typical of how moose seem to suddenly appear. The red undergrowth is typical of our high-bush cranberries and our red osier dogwood bushes in west-central BC, Canada, and the aspens are a brilliant yellow. A quick version of this scene can be done in an evening session, but I spent much more time on the trees and the moose.
