Talent Caldwell - Aspen Matthews from Fathom

I was first on Talent's commission list for C2E2 2012 and had to get an Aspen from him. His watercolor pieces have improved a ton over the past couple years, and in my biased opinion, this is the best one I've seen. He knocked it out of the park.

I had to leave the show at 5:00 on Saturday in order to catch a flight home. When I swung back around to pick it up at about a quarter till, Talent was frantically trying to finish the piece. It was a spectacle to watch for 15 minutes as he spared no detail. From the white pen dotted highlights to the swirl of the water and the blotting of the paint, it was watching a master at his craft. He was in the zone, and I wasn't about to stop him. Fortunately, he finished in time for me to make my flight in plenty of time. I'm forever grateful for this amazing piece and am already plotting my next one!
