Spiritual woods

Chinese Brush PaintingVisual Fine Art
Written By Laura Beaton

Spiritual Woods is now for sale via The Gallery on the Pond, located across from the lovely Fogo Island Inn situated on a tiny island of Fogo at the northeast coast of Newfoundland. This painting was created using Chinese Inks on rice paper and measures 33”x33”. It won an Excellence Award for the 10th Annual Juried ICCPS show, Tokyo, Japan in 2021.

The intent was to capture the essence of Canada's wilderness depicting that it is a mysterious life form unto itself.   There is a spirit within the air that permeates the land.  The painting is of a breathing forest, while inferring that humans (campers) are nearby).    The camper's fire pit is properly contained, which is integral to retaining the forest in its current state.
