Forest Light 2, 31 x 33, Mixed Media on Canvas
| In Forest Light II, again in the old growth forest in Kentville NS, I discover a sense of play. The light airy feeling beckons me to stay and live in a brightly coloured world free of responsibility. There is an aura of playful puppetry captured in the shorter tree to the left and the tall one to the right each apparently bobbing to and fro most of the night. A sense of dancing is present in their elegant limbs as they balance themselves precariously using other branches as shims. The splash of background colour adds a Mardi Gras atmosphere to a scene that opens upwards as an escape route to another world. |
