Heading down the wilderness trail at the end of a day hike in April; north of Santa Fe, I  came upon a group of aspens surrounded by unruly saplings. The winter snow has melted off at the lower elevations and  the aspen start to thin out with the pine trees start to take over.

Another  series of  watercolors working to achieve a minimalist feel. A fun way to bust loose and explore with watercolors using quick strokes with a Japanese writing brush on rough watercolor paper.  16" x 12" image size, 16" x 20" mat, ready to frame.
