Description
Commissioned painting. The aim was to portray a magical forest. I drew inspirations from a lot of places but I believe Fangorn and Sintra, fictional and real, are what influenced me the most. I love forests...fantasy is inherent to them. I don't know if it's the green tones, the wind blowing through the trees or the fresh air...there is just something special about them.I also took a lot of inspiration from the beautiful paintings by master painter Peder Mork Monsted
Let me know your thoughts.

I really like the birds and the filtering of light through the trees. Certainly has that ancient forest feel. Amazing work.

Tells a story of a beginning journey, perhaps a wizard seeking to understand his powers. The forest dark but not evil because he is journeys toward the light! RJ

The slightly off-kilter feel in this is intriguing. The enchanted woodland closes in around unwary travelers...?

this feels like an image from the Lord of the Rings. You would do great to illustrate J.R.R Tolkien's books!

holy goodness nΓ£o consigo acreditar nos meus olhos isto estΓ‘ incrΓvel. HΓ‘ tanto detalhe, e detalhes tΓ£o pequenos mas com tanto cuidado e atenΓ§Γ£o, adoro. Nunca fui a Sintra, mas como se jΓ‘ nΓ£o tivesse ouvido argumentos suficientes, ter sido inspiraΓ§Γ£o para esta peΓ§a sΓ³ me faz querer conhecΓͺ-la mais ainda

I love the tapestry of negative spaces the branches of this majestic tree makes. It reminds me of one of my favorite books when I was younger called the Heart of the World illustrated by Ruth Sanderson

The boles along the tree's trunk lending it so much personality, the multiple tones of shadow in the trunks surrounding, the way the forest floor seems to slope, inviting me to lay upon it and rest...I love this. I agree with your words on the magic inherent in a forest. I trees.
