“Light in the Forest” is an original acrylic painting on canvas, 24″ x 48″. This started with the reference sketch that I made at Sol Duc Valley in Olympic National Park. A droopy trillium flower, a few non-flowering False Lily-of-the-Valley plants, some sword ferns – but I liked the idea of a big shaft of bright sun illuminating a lush springtime old-growth forest. I think I need to work on this just a bit more, but I’m close to getting there. It may be a tad over the top with details, but I couldn’t help but to add a calypso orchid, just because it’s my favorite forest flower – and a Pacific wren, one of my favorite forest birds. These little guys are only about 3 inches long, yet sing an astoundingly-loud sizzling song that seems to go on forever. The poor little bird had its name changed a few years ago when some new genetic testing reveled the birds here on the West Coast are different than the eastern birds. No respect!

This is the original painting, NOT a print. If you’re interested in purchasing this, email me.

We’re offering “Light in the Forest” for $1700 with our custom-built hemlock frame. Shipping will add a bit more, but since it’s on canvas, it’s light. Other frames are also available.

Email us for details.

Thanks for reading this week.
