My latest acrylic 16″x20″ painting. Working to show the cool, backlit mood inside the forest’s edge. What mood do you feel when walking into a forest setting? Copyright 2025 Here is my photograph of the scene used for the painting. I’m not sure which I prefer. I kept the painting more abstract, with fewer details shown to keep it “painterly”. Usually I don’t know when to end a piece, so I keep adding more and more details. But this photograph is so amazing to me that it doesn’t need imitating; just used for inspiration. As always, your insights are most welcome. Copyright 2025 Pamela Breitberg
