Light flows like a river, gentle and bright,
Illuminating landscapes in its path of flight.
Movement and vitality, shadows play,
The landscape alive in the light of day.
Have you ever felt the light flowing across a landscape, illuminating everything in its path? We experienced such a moment during a hike, where the play of light and shadow created a dynamic, living tapestry. This artwork started with bold, sweeping lines, each layer adding to the sense of movement and energy. It radiates a vibrant, life-affirming light, capturing the essence of nature's dance.
Material
Ready to hang, the artwork is created with ink, gold leaf, acrylic paint, and varnish on canvas.
