Backlit Trees works on panel I had brought a thermosThe morning sunrise warmed the forest floor creating a golden mist. The light also highlighted the bright yellow lichen and foliage This painting was inspired while hiking along Hyannis Trail on Mount Seymour in North Vancouver in January. This painting is part of the 'Heading to the Trails' collection released in February 2022. 'Heading to the Trails' collection is inspired by the days getting longer and spending more time outdoors in nature. I hope
