Description
Forest and Light – a white core in green depth
Decorative painting rifts a white core diagonally through a deep green and turquoise field, from the upper right corner down to the lower left: abstract painting that arrives at the feeling of looking up through branches without painting a single one.
Technique and texture
The green ground is laid in broad vertical passes that open in places to show a lighter layer beneath. The white core is built from short overlapping blade sweeps with gaps left between them. Flicked white lies over everything as a fine net, catching where the green is deepest.
The motif
The diagonal of light cuts the canvas into two darker triangles, and that is what makes the depth. Small marks of yellow, orange and deep red sit inside that opening, and the surrounding depth makes them impossible to miss. Because there is neither a trunk nor an outline anywhere, the scene stays abstract and never becomes a wood. The edges darken into blue-green and grey.
Setting and placement
Green and turquoise are the two most restful colours in the range, and they live easily beside plants, timber and linen. The upright crop suits a tall window wall or a reading corner where it will be looked at slowly.

Forest and Light: sizes for an upright canvas
Forest and Light is offered in 16 upright sizes, from 40 x 63 to 200 x 319 cm. The tall canvas with its white core in green depth belongs on walls that are higher than they are wide: beside a tall window it works at 80 x 127 or 90 x 143 cm, in a reading corner next to an armchair at 60 x 95 cm, and above a console about 100 cm wide, 70 x 111 cm covers roughly two thirds of its width. A stairwell or a high hallway wall can take 120 x 191 cm.
If you want the green and turquoise canvas ready to hang, choose YES in the Stretcher menu and it arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher. A frame is optional: for Forest and Light the Frame menu starts at “Without frame”. Delivery takes 15–45 days. The white core and the fine net of flicked white are hand-painted with knife and brush, so this painting is not a print.
