It Started Here

The Forest Rhapsody paintings were first developed from my exploration of working with limited colour palette. “It Started Here” was the first painting in the series. I find the first painting is always elusive because I have set intentions but at the same time I have to explore how the intentions will work. This one took some time. But when I applied the top layer, I knew the painting was done. This one has probably 40 layers and emanates a serene and peaceful feeling, often how I feel when I am in the forest.
