Memento of two;
lovers’ whispers;
gentle delighting.

Aspen grove
Intimate moment
Spring Morning
I believe this tiny painting is the foreshadow of great love.
Aspens grow in colonies from a single seed. Often they are seen as evidence of ancient woodlands, because their root systems can live for thousands of years. Another beautiful fact; Aspen colonies are able to survive forest fires, because their root systems are below the heat of the fires.
Caught in awe one day walking among Aspens in Idaho, I felt the weight of the many as the morning light danced across these two trees; catching their kiss in conversation, they allowed me in, and so I danced too.
Here I was feeling family; generational love; grounded through life’s heat in the good and the difficult.
paint much love, always,
