Aspen Transcendent is part of a series that I have been working on.  Aspen have been painted so many times and it is fascinating to try to capture the spirit using so much color.  This one is a watercolor and it is my favorite so far.  I am happy with the color and hard and soft edges.  It has a happy feeling about it that I like.  Maybe I should title it Aspen Party!

My Koi painting, In Golden Pond, sold a couple weeks ago and I miss it already.  I really like this one and am happy that it is going to a good home.  I can never paint something exactly the same again, but if I could it would be this one.
