Artist Michael O'Toole

Artist Michael O’Toole brings a lustrous impressionist style to the canvas when he is creating his artwork.  O’Toole’s ability to play objects in his paintings off of one-another is stark, and the technique works remarkably well in bringing separate layers and levels together.

In the painting Waterfall Michael O’Toole’s foreground vs. background elemental effect is quite pleasing – the zenith of this effect existing as the vivid Golden Aspen Leaves are set against the dark damp rocks of the bounding waterfall.

Artist Ann Ruttan

Artist Ann Ruttan shows that Aspens don’t always come in the stellar gold that we all know so well.  With almost fruitful, harvest color hues, Ann highlights a grove of trees in her calming piece Luminous Aspens.

Luminous Aspens offers both a warm and cold effect.  The foreground Aspen trees are illuminated in their oranges, reds, and browns, while the resting peaks beyond sit in purple, blue, and gray hues.

Artist Gary Max Collins

Artist Gary Max Collins is a gifted oil and watercolor landscape painter.  Collins ability to capture the “fleeting moment” is reflected in many of his pieces, including one such “Aspen Glow.”

In Aspen Glow, Gary Collins dances a golden light over a wooded grove of aspen trees.  The effect is almost magical – a fascinating feeling of warmth and light emanating from the center of the canvas.
