This serene painting is a heartfelt interpretation of a forest, inspired by the delicate beauty of blossom trees and the quiet majesty of nature. Expressive brushstrokes convey the dance of light filtering through a leafy canopy, casting warmth over a mosaic-like forest floor of pinks, greens, and magentas. Evoking a sense of peace and nostalgia, the scene captures a secluded glade alive with the fantasy and fresh abundance of Spring.

This unique painting has been created using high-quality acrylic paints on a deep-edged canvas.

My creative process begins with direct observation of the location, where I make sketches, notes, and take photographs. Back in the studio, I work intuitively, first building up base layers with a brush before applying successive layers of impasto using a palette knife.

I draw inspiration from both Impressionist optical mixing techniques and traditional methods used by the old masters, such as scumbling and glazing. These layered approaches allow the work to evolve organically until it reaches a natural and resolved conclusion.

The final piece is a contemporary painting that balances abstraction with realism. The carefully applied palette knife strokes create a texture and luminosity that have been likened to stained glass or mosaic.
