Forest of My Dreams

This mixed media acrylic painting on canvas originally started off just as an acrylic painting of a forest. However, I then stencilled a lof of Washi paper using orange, burnt orange and neon yellow which I glued onto the top of the painting using gloss medium. There are sections that stand out as the trunk of the trees amid the paper. The trees are layered in many colors, but the top layer is golden acrylic with dots of paint on them including yellow, green, blue and other colors. This painting is inspired by trees and forests. For me, forests give me a very calm, restful and energized feeling. Forests have a beautiful energy that gives to our body and soul rather than taking it away. It is a place of beauty in which we can recharge our soul, minds and bodies.
