Into the Woods Original Painting

Into the Woods is almost fantasy-like as your eye is pulled into the painting. Where does the path lead? What is that light and where does it go? Am I alone? Will fairies pop out and guide my way? Is it early morning, a moonshine night or dusk? Are the birds still or is their song an echo throughout? Can you smell the pines? This is an oil and cold wax medium painting. Numerous layers were painted over a long time to achieve the depth and texture of this painting. This piece was painted on a cradled board. The sides have been fully painted and there is no need for a frame. It is wired and ready to hang. I predominately use oil paint mixed with cold wax, painted in multiple layers to create my paintings. I typically include lots of textures in my paintings. I use several tools in my painting, including squeegees, chop sticks, palette knives, corrugated cardboard and other mark making items. Often, I have no notion or plan of what the painting will be when I begin. I just let the painting decide the composition and when it is complete. Sometimes it takes months or longer. Artwork is signed and dated on the back.
