Living Light of the Forest Acrylic

This piece evokes the serenity of a mystical forest place. Harnessing elements of impressionism creates a calming scene that invites the viewer to experience nature's introspective tranquillity. The soft greens and delicate expression of light weave a tapestry of serenity and freshness that will infuse any space with the peaceful energy of a sylvan dream.
This is an original, one-of-a-kind artwork, painted with acrylics on a circular canvas. My process usually begins outdoors: observing the location, taking notes, and gathering photographs to reference back in the studio. From there, I work intuitively, starting with brush-painted base layers, then building depth with palette-knife impasto. I use optical colour-mixing techniques inspired by the impressionists, along with traditional methods like scumbling and glazing. I keep adjusting and layering until the painting feels complete in a natural, unforced way.
The finished piece sits somewhere between abstraction and realism. The painting continues around the edges and it is signed on the side, so no frame is needed, it's ready to hang. For display purposes, it has been photographed against a white background.
