I count my breaths as I enter the woods.  It calms my thoughts and helps me to relax.  The chaos and cravings of the world evaporate with every step.  If you're fortunate enough to find the mysterious pass, then you enter into paradise.  This is the magic of the forest.

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

Twilight Woods


Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty


Twilight Woods
Acrylic on canvas 
16" x 20" in a frame (40.6 cm x 50.8 cm in a frame)

I follow the winding path not knowing where I'll end up. The trees rustle in the breeze stirring up the aromas of the forest. A freshness one always has to remind themselves of in civilization. The light refracts in strange ways at this time. It's when the surreal becomes the real. 

This painting would look best in a space that is deep red, orange, purple, yellow, green, blue, black, white, beige, or wood.
