The inspiration for this painting came while walking through the 600 year old growth of Elk Park. Walking in a forest often elicits a calming and tranquil sensation for me.
The rustling leaves, the earthy scent, and the dappled sunlight with the soothing green surroundings, always seems to create a peaceful and immersive experience. Being in nature often brings me to a deep sense of calm. Being in forest has to be one of my favorite places to be.
