Two Paths

This vibrant oil painting features a dense forest scene, with tall trees that create a lush green canopy overhead. The foliage is rendered in various shades of green, capturing the sunlight filtering through the leaves, resulting in bright highlights and deep shadowy areas that create depth. The texture of the brushstrokes gives a lively quality to the trees and underbrush, conveying the vitality of nature. The background melts into a soft, darker hue, suggesting a mysterious pathway leading through the forest, inviting the viewer to step into this serene oasis.
This painting would be a perfect addition to a living room, study, or nature-themed interior space. Its vibrant greens can bring a sense of calm and life to any area, making it an excellent choice for creating a refreshing and peaceful atmosphere. Placing it above a sofa or on a feature wall can heighten the sense of tranquility and connection to nature.

This painting is inspired by the powerful and emotive expression of trees. It is a place in the woods where two paths meet or diverge. I like the metaphor here: in a visual way I am describing a choice or a potential dividing of ways. This theme always feels relevant to the continual choices which make up our human lives also. We can see our humanness reflected in the natural world around us.
