The Birch Forest

The Birch Forest
acrylic paint, ink on canvas board
8" x 10" (20.3 cm x 25.4 cm)

Birch trees have always been a meditative source for me. Growing up, there was one outside my window that I would look at while daydreaming. And, when I needed to get away from the world I went to a grove of Birch trees to find refuge. I’ve always found the unique and nearly useless white tree interesting.

This painting would great in a small space that is dark red, dark orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black, white, grey, beige, or wood.
