Basking in the Sun

Acrylics on professional gallery-wrapped canvas. My inspiration for this painting canes from the following poetic lines from Gerry Lagister’s poem:

"Streams in the desert" When hours had pass with painful cross I travelled on till I could go no further, Then at last; in all the pain of sad losses, I rest serene beneath the tranquil power. God gave me quietness and assurance To drink from the stream in the desert And wash my feet press sore in peace, That they in grief may walk in the spirit.

On a sunny summer day, a modest bridge surrounded by trees sits above the reflecting greenish lake exuding an air of tranquility in the middle of prospering flora. Green occupies a majority of the space in the painting. Trees, grass, and the bridge dominate the water and the sky, which conveys a message about the strength of natural life.

Acrylics on professional gallery-wrapped canvas. In this forest, I am with my tribe of wood and leaf, among the giants that hug the earth. It is a place of my refuge with the sweet smell of flowers and the soothing sound of water and songs of the birds, forever embedded in the air. A hug of browns, a shelter of extended limbs resting beneath the foliage. I am in love with this painting, especially in the scorching heat of the long summers. Upon the forest floor, lies the leaves, fallen in storms long forgotten, but still beautiful. All of this natural composition is what makes this painting, a piece of art. Size: 36x36
