Forest Painting Size:24"x16" a blushing peachRow upon row of straight pine trunks fill this woodland scene, photographed head on so the trees stand like a natural colonnade marching back into shadow.

At the centre, a clearing glows in vivid spring green, a bright pocket of light that pulls the gaze through the dim ranks of timber.
