This painting evokes the quiet atmosphere of a forest glade, rendered in a palette of gold and earthy natural tones. The scene suggests a moment of calm suffused with gentle light, hinting at the warmth of a setting sun. Light and shadow move softly beneath the forest canopy, which shimmers with an iridescent quality, creating a sense of depth and serenity. Subtle blends of pink, mocha, and gold introduce an element of mystery, forming an emotional landscape that invites the viewer to linger within a world of quiet narrative and tranquillity.

This is a one-of-a-kind original artwork, created using acrylic paints on a deep-edge canvas that requires no framing. The process begins with direct observation of place, supported by notes and photographs, before continuing intuitively in the studio. Initial layers are applied with a brush, followed by richly textured impasto built up with a palette knife. Techniques such as expressive dappled strokes, scumbling, and glazing are used to develop depth and luminosity. The painting continues until it reaches a natural conclusion.
