Deep within the Forest by Keiran Lusk
A personal favourite. I painted this strange image many years ago (approximately 1996). I used my fingers instead of paint brushes to move the oil paints over the canvas paper. The mysterious trees and ‘people’ seemingly took shape on their own… What do you think is happening in the painting?
Comments
This is beautiful. The colors are dancing.
Thank-you Natella2020. I appreciate your comments! This artwork was actually painted about 11 years ago, but remains one of my favourite pieces. I used my fingers (instead of paintbrushes) to spread the oil over the canvas paper. It was a fun piece to create!

This painting has a dreamlike quality. I love the colours. It seems to me as if these people are walking through the plantation measuring the girth of the trees and deciding which trees will be cut down. Or else – a happier situation – they are only birdwatching :-)
Wow, thanks Dorothy for your comments. I can see the stories that you imagine in this image! I would much rather they were birdwatching, but I am not sure it is a completely happy situation. Thanks for your lovely thoughts :-)
