This painting was inspired by a picturesque roadside stop near Lake Tahoe in California. The golden hues of the aspen trees during the September season are truly captivating, and the secluded cabin nestled among them adds an intriguing focal point. I'm particularly drawn to scenes that evoke a sense of narrative, and I find joy in imagining the potential human stories that could unfold within such settings.

The juxtaposition of the clear blue skies against the vibrant golden foliage creates a striking contrast, enhancing the visual appeal of the composition with complementary colours.
