This forest and landscape is not seen anywhere in the world!
 
When I did this painting, there was no set plan behind other than to do simple night scene. I let it go with dark and warm colours. Started with farthest horizon, blended with tree tops and sunsets. Trees form one of the vital features in my landscape paintings. When half of the forest was painted, I still didn't have the tree identified. That evening, I walk passed the pear trees along the street I live, relaxed with the cup of coffee. It was Autumn in Canberra, colourful leaves were shading and the sun was setting with magnificient sunglow. At that moment, the colours  and a moment caught my attention. I turned the painting to a pure and even Acer forest lit by the last secondth rays. I have spent my night by the largest trunk and enjoyed wandering the entire forest next day (...in my fascination!).
 
This painting has lots of textures, bright warm colours and dark shadows. You can feel the leaves, barks, reflection and the depth of a pond. All sides are canvas wraped with continued painting, which has 3D effect. 
 
It really catches your eye and take you into the fantasy world especially when sunset rays fall on to the canvas. Naturally lit walls are perfect and I would suggest warm lights are equally good. It may be even better on medium to large size walls. Try your own fascination with this painiting!
