Water, trees, mountains created a scary but peaceful landscape.
‘Surreal Moonlit Landscape’ reinterprets the timeless genre of landscape through this peaceful forest scene that comes into focus under the pale moon. The dark silhouettes of the pine trees with their vibrant green branches fill one side of the composition like ancient guardians of the forest. The brown earth of the hill and deep blue of the water also seem to take on a dreamlike glow in the moonlight. This artwork reminds me to stop and take time to view the world and contemplate its beauty no matter what time of the day.
