Gros Ventre Aspens

Description

Artist story about aspen trees in Jackson Hole and ‘Gros Ventre Aspens’:

Aspen trees, or “quakies” as many call them, are one of my favorite trees to paint.

Their contrasting hues and simple, yet elegant design make them beautiful subjects to paint.

However, some people prefer to “paint” on them by carving their initials in.

The practice leaves a black scar behind in the white bark that passers-by can read until the tree dies.

This graffiti is unacceptable in real life, as it can kill a tree or at least limit its growth potential.

But many of these vandals like to carve a heart around the initials of them and their significant other. A token of love.

While I don’t condone the practice, I can simulate it well.

With this print, I offer a special service: I’ll paint your initials with those of your significant other onto the large tree to the left. 

As a Christmas present to each of my 6 (of 7) married children, I gifted them each one of these prints with a heart around their initials.

You can get one for yourself. This is the only print I’ll paint on, and it’s also my most affordable.
