Coming from a shepcoon born & raised in the Sierra Nevada foothills, surrounded by pines and oak trees and plenty of gold-mining caves and dogwoods and cedars and enough nature to make even John Muir himself tickled with envy... I couldn't agree more that forests are most certainly a peaceful, secluded kingdom all unto their righteous selves. This is soooo very pretty! <3 The artist did an exceptional job with those color textures!

Such a beautiful painting! I love the washed look of the colors ~
