"Monsters of the Mangroves" - Tarpon - SOLD 2017 Virginia Migratory Waterfowl Conservation Stamp The trail led us through

The trail led us through a beautiful grove of Aspen Trees in September

often called “Ringbills” by sportsmen

and is framed in a simple silver plein air frame

The simplicity of the composition as well as the rich colors drew me to paint this charming little corner of the Shenandoah Valley
