Enchanted Canopy Mixed Media Painting
“Where light dances through the trees, wonder lives — in childhood, in memory, in all of us”
About the Art:
This piece is inspired by a vivid memory of my son, Christopher, whose natural sense of wonder and positivity has always illuminated the world around him. As I painted, I was drawn back into my own childhood memories—standing beneath a cathedral of trees, watching light dance and flicker between ancient branches, feeling a profound connection to something larger than myself. This work captures both the timeless awe of childhood and the quiet reverence we can rediscover through nature and memory. It is a visual meditation on wonder, belonging, and the sacred beauty of the natural world.
