Hidden

A Place To Comtemplate  

I painted "Hidden" to transport its viewers to a serene oasis nestled deep within the heart of nature. The painting depicts a lush, verdant forest brimming with life, where towering trees stretch their branches to touch the sky and intricate foliage dance in the gentle breeze.

I love adding bright sunlight to my paintings and "Hidden" is no exception.  l filtered the sunlight through the canopy of trees, casting a warm, golden glow, illuminating the landscape with a magical embrace. At the center of the painting, a tranquil lake meanders gracefully through the scene, its crystal-clear waters glistening with an ethereal reflection of the sun. 

The rest of the painting leads to whatever one's imagination would like to see.  Does the lake continue winding to a water hole for magnificent animals?  Do the trees lead to a new scene of people hiking or maybe they have a secret home hidden within the tree?  What do you think?

If you look past the multitude of moss covered rocks, you might find a place that beckens your imagination to explore its hidden secrets.  

However, take a closer look within the painting and you'll experience a sense of tranquility slowly washing over you. The stillness of the forest, the peaceful flow of the river, and the vibrant colors of the landscape evoke a deep sense of calm and serenity.

"Hidden" invites you to lose yourself in its depths, to uncover the hidden truths that lie beneath the surface and to experience the magic of nature in all its glory.  -Margaret
