Original artwork description:

Japanese famously call this shinrin-yoku, literally meaning "forest bathing" (and local doctors even prescribe it as a remedy for numerous ailments!). I like this term a lot because it points out that deep, contemplative immersion in nature brings clears us - and indeed it does - body and soul both. It's also such a special thing that everyone can instantly relate to this feeling - clearly very primal and very true part of each of us.
The painting reflects this experience - the figure in the middle plane soaking in the calm and serenity of the amber sunset light illuminating the trees and forest floor.
The work's in oil and natural resin on exhibition grade linen canvas (gallery wrapped, edges finished in black).
I will have it framed upon your purchase and send it ready to hang (allow about 7 days for my framer to have everything prepared for dispatch)

Materials used:

oil and natural resin on stretched linen canvas, framed in wood
