This piece is composed of numerous fall coloured aspen leaves which have been strategically cracked to form the silhouette of a mountain range, and hence the name "Aspen Ridge".

Artist's Note: Cracking the leaves by hand requires patience and attention to detail, but results in a much more organic feel than would be achieved by cutting or slicing the leaves.

Shown in Natural frame and White mat.

Dimension:

12"x30" (add frame profile size to calculate total outside dimension)

Materials:

Alderwood frame and covered with a water-based nontoxic finish.

How beautiful, when a whole tree is like one great scarlet fruit full of ripe juices, every leaf, from lowest limb to topmost spire, all a glow, especially if you look toward the sun! What a remarkable object can there be in the landscape? Visible for miles, too fair to be believed. If such a phenomenon occurred but once, it would be handed down to posterity, and get into the mythology at last. I am thrilled at the sight of it…I go half a mile out of my way to examine it. A single tree becomes thus the crowning beauty of some meadowy vale, and the expression of the whole surrounding forest is at once more spirited for it. – Henry David Thoreau
