Light Through The Aspens
Light Through The Aspens
By Sarah St. George
Light Through The Aspens is a deeply enchanting, soulful, and visually radiant 9x12in. pastel painting on paper by Evergreen, Colorado artist Sarah St. George. This vertical landscape captures a quiet, sun-dappled moment within a dense forest, where low-angled sunlight filters through a grove of mature aspens. The piece turns a beloved regional forest scene into a complex and celebratory contemporary landscape work.
St. George displays a sophisticated command of soft pastel, utilizing expressive, graphic marks to render the dramatic play of light and shadow across the forest floor. Long, rhythmic bands of brilliant lime and golden sunlight stretch toward the viewer, alternating with deep moss-green shadows. The textured, pale trunks of the aspens are carved out with subtle lavender and grey tones, standing out against a dark, moody canopy background. Presented in a custom-designed frame featuring a substantial matte black molding and a slender, distressed gold inner liner, it is a captivating statement piece that effortlessly bridges classic Impressionist light studies with the vibrant energy of contemporary Western art.
