"Wandering Within"

Original bokeh oil painting 

 As you wander within the forest, taking your time and breathing deeply, your stress melts away, blood pressure evens out, mood improves and your connection to the natural world is restored. Taking your time, being present and attuned to your senses is the key to the significant mental and physical health benefits of Shinrin-Yoku - or Forest Bathing.

Allow yourself to gaze softly around, taking in the light, colours and patterns. This bokeh painting is your window to forest immersion, a reminder to be gentle and breathe deeply.

This original oil painting belongs to a series of Bokeh Paintings recently exhibited at the Art Attic Gallery as part of the 'B' Exhibition. The soft focus allows light to grow and gives the painting an air of abstraction and conveys a message of the ways light finds you through the darkness and the beauty of that softness, of taking the focus off the 'sharp edges' and 'gritty details'.
