Forest Bathing II is a vivid exploration of a densely wooded landscape, capturing the quiet energy of a forest through bold color and dynamic brushwork. The composition is defined by tall, slender tree trunks standing close together, their forms articulated with confident strokes of orange, blue, and green. Above, the foliage forms a dense canopy rendered in layered yellows and greens that suggest sunlight filtering through leaves, creating a subtle interplay of light and shadow. The textured application of oil paint on the wood panel adds depth and movement, inviting the viewer to feel the rhythm of nature’s vitality. The vertical format emphasizes the soaring height and compactness of the forest, drawing attention to both the physical structure and the emotional presence of the scene. This work conveys a sense of immersion and renewal, inspired by the quiet moments experienced while walking through the Aspen Vista trail in the Santa Fe Forest.
