Aspen Grove, Aspen

The Story:

Aspen trees are my favorite trees to photograph. I often refer to them as the "super models" of the deciduous world; tall, skinny and elegant. Their monochrome color pallet makes them all the more appealing to my eye. They are often captured in the fall when they reach their peak of colorful brilliance. I find them more intriguing in the winter when they, like the landscape that surrounds them, are dormant sleeping giants. Aspen trees are the world's largest living organism. Connected by one root structure, they can span over 100 acres. Each year, I return to the same grove in Aspen, Colorado that I find particularly special. There is a deep sense of silence and awe that one feels when standing in the middle of a sprawling Aspen grove. It is this feeling of peace, stillness and eternity that I wish to convey with this image.

Framing:

Frames are exquisitely handmade of fine hardwoods (Ash and Maple) and are works of art in themselves. Depending on the frame size, they have a 1/2" - 3/4" face and 1 1/4" - 2 1/4" frame depth.  There are four finish options: Solid White, Whitewash Ash, Light Grey Ash, or Solid Black. Pieces are framed with museum grade 99% UV Plexi and framed in a style where the print is set to the back of the frame with a spacer between the print and the plexi. 

***Please note - If you will be hanging your art in a space with a lot of light and reflection, we recommend you upgrade the plexi to Optium Museum Acrylic anit-reflective.

Prints ship within 7-10 days. Framed pieces require a lead time of 4-6 weeks.  

Note: Framed prints are only available for delivery to the USA. International shipping is available for unframed prints.
