Description
Ephemera
*****
Ephemera is a colorful, autumn aspen leaf, at the peak of the color changing season. This is a miniature watercolor painting. I like the simplicity of the one leaf on a subtle metallic gold background, and because the original is so small, it can fit in almost any location you can imagine.
*****
It is fall in Colorado, and the aspen trees are changing color all over the state, going from green to every warm shade you can envision. Shadow Mountain Gallery in Evergreen is hosting a special aspen themed show to celebrate the beauty, and this is just one of many pieces of art created and brought in especially for this event.
*****
I hope you enjoy my aspen leaf painting, and please keep in mind that I can paint one of these especially for you, if you like, They are each unique, just like every leaf in the forest, and they make a thoughtful, affordable gift. And, although aspen leaves are ephemeral by nature, you will always have this one to remind you of the season.

*****
One aspen tree is actually only a small part of a larger organism. A stand or group of aspen trees is considered a singular organism with the main life force underground in the extensive root system. Before a single aspen trunk appears above the surface, the root system may lie dormant for many years until the conditions are just right, including sufficient sunlight. In a single stand, each tree is a genetic replicate of the other, hence the name a “clone” of aspens used to describe a stand.
*****
Older than the massive Sequoias or the biblical Bristlecone Pines, the oldest known aspen clone has lived more than 80,000 years on Utah’s Fishlake National Forest. Not only is the clone the oldest living organism, weighing in at an estimated 6,600 tons, it is also the heaviest. Even if the trees of a stand are wiped out, it is very difficult to permanently extinguish an aspen’s root system due to the rapid rate in which it reproduces.
