"Colorado Autumn Aspen", Original Mixed Media Painting by Colorado Artist, Donna L. Martin

"Colorado Autumn Aspen"

This was a commissioned mixed media piece that I recently completed. My client lives in Arizona but grew up in Monte Vista, CO. On the bottom portion of the piece, I added pieces of a 1964 Colorado Road Map. I placed the town of Monte Vista in the upper center portion of the map . This made it unique and very special to my client. The trees were constructed of paper, paint, ink, and modeling paste. The leaves were done with hand-painted paper - each one torn individually from the paper. I loved working on this piece and the client told me she will always treasure this piece. There is nothing more rewarding!

I was the one who got picked last for the team, didn't stand up for myself...I didn't know how, didn't have " permission ". I couldn't really find my place, or my voice. I attended Columbine High School for one semester before we moved to a wonderful little small Texas town. When I first got there, the kids in ...

This was a really fun painting to do and has been one of my most popular to date! Mama and baby taking a stroll together on a sunny morning. This original watercolor was completed on a lazy Sunday afternoon after a couple of glasses of wine. Hence, the vibrant colors and textures!
