Description
Dense woods at twilight, slightly glowing in the cool dusk. Into The Woods is a square format, deep, dark blue and teal watercolor painting of evening aspen trunks reaching out to one another in the darkness. Living in uncertain times, well, it feels something like this.

According to: https://www.nationalforests.org/blog/tree-profile-aspen-so-much-more-than-a-tree
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.
