Description: 
Artist statement: It is easy to be seduced by the Tuart Forest's ever changing seasons, nature and lights. I have captured a moment in time: where the moonlight illuminates the wonders of the night forest. Peace and tranquility can be experienced through the viewer's gaze. Created with a harmonious pallet of blue, green and earthly hues.Modernity and contemporary techniques are illustrated by visual brush strokes: trees, water and negative space, evenly distributed across this balance composition. Using a pallet knife, I applied texture to create depth and movement, seen across the water. The foreground mirrors the sky, reflecting identical colours, implemented with different painting methods.Serenity is the emotion I offer to the audience of this art work, I hope it resonates with you.I created this art work to inspire people to take pause, appreciate the subject matter and remember we need to preserve, protect and nurture our forest for the future.
