Going through my past posts I realized that I never showed you the final result of the last 6x5 oilpainting from the Forest Light series.
I created this series under time pressure (getting ready for an exhibition) and was bit concerned if it's going to affect the result, but in all modesty I have to say that I would not change any of it.
What really made the whole difference for this painting was the central detail of the chilling Jaguar and the many birds and other animals that I hid in the jungle.
So how many animals can you spot?
:)
The Jaguar is the obvious king of the scene....and he seems to embrace that role naturally well:)
Here is the whole painting after the final retouches
That light falling through the crowns of the trees.....can I ever get enough of painting ? I hope not! I don't want to stop here, nature is just inexhaustible source of inspiration (and learning) for me!
The whole trilogy in all its beauty. Next to the central giant the side pieces look so small, although they are pretty large paintings!

One last picture to commemorate the show!
And a secret for the end....yes this is how this painting started! Hard to believe right?
