"The Stillness Within"

Original bokeh oil painting 

Spending time among the trees and breathing deeply, you find a stillness within yourself that's reflected in the sights, sounds and smells around you. Taking it slow, 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, you'll become aware of a hive of activity, an insight only your own stillness permits. This bokeh painting is your window to forest immersion, a reminder to be gentle and present.

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'.
