Face The Sun | vertical painting

“Face The Sun” is an original 9x12" acrylic painting on canvas panel of a sunny day in the woods and was inspired by a photo I took on a hike through Provin Trails in Grand Rapids. I really wanted to pull the colors of the forest out to express the way I feel when I’m hiking in the woods. The emphasis of light in this piece marks the beginning of a new focus. ✨⁣There is a proverb I found that perfectly pairs with this painting:
“Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.” – Maori Proverb
I loved painting this piece, using the colors so boldly and dancing my brush around the canvas. I hope you enjoy good vibes and a sense of adventure when you welcome this painting into your home.
 
This painting comes in a natural wood frame.
