Flowers in the Aspens pairs cool, vertical rhythm with a burst of ground-level color. Richard Wieth stages a stand of pale trunks—leaning slightly, catching light along their smooth bark—and lets a scatter of warm blossoms thread between them. The effect is musical: tall, repeating notes above; quick, playful accents below.
 
 
Dappled light is the true subject. Cool shadows slide across white bark, then dissolve into soft greens. Occasional darks anchor the pattern so the painting never drifts; a few bright touches at the flowers ring like small bells. Instead of describing every leaf, Wieth trusts temperature shifts and edges to carry the story. Step back and the grove assembles itself into place; step close and the brushwork stays lively, a map of choices that privilege energy over detail.
 
 
This is a landscape for rooms that want lift—hallways, dining spaces, an office where a window would be welcome. It brings the calm of tall trees without the heaviness often found in forest scenes.
