Pale silver birch trunks rise close and tall, filling the canvas entirely with bark, shadow, and dappled light. Flashes of amber and gold peek through the gaps where light filters between the trees, while mossy greens and deep blacks trace the weathered crevices of the bark in richly layered impasto strokes.
This is a painting that invites you to slow down and look closely — the closer you get, the more texture and detail reveals itself, built up with confident, tactile mark-making that gives the work an almost sculptural quality. It captures not just the look of a forest, but the feeling of standing within one: enveloped, sheltered, and still. The kind of stillness that is hard to find, and harder to leave.
A grounding, deeply atmospheric work for any space that calls for the quiet presence of nature.
