“Notes a Flutter” ©2011 Niki Gulley 24” x 18” traditional oil in Espresso Frame with Inner Gold Trim Colorado’s celebrated quaking aspen trees stand arrow straight in the valleys and up and down the hills. Slim white trunks sing out against the forest background and each leaf provides a sparkling symphony of notes whispering through the mountains. Flames of yellow leaves flicker against autumn’s burning reds and the deep, cool blue mountain streaked with early banks of snow. This painting captures the breathtaking colors of Colorado in the fall, the Aspens at their most beautiful, the peaceful snow-banked mountain, the rustling murmur and musical sigh of the fluttering leaves.
