Summer Sanctuary

Acrylic and image transfer on wood.

36x48x1.50"

This painting reminds me of the times we sought the shade of enormous Cedar trees to escape the ­summer heat. It was like walking through a ­fairytale forest, paths wound their way up the mountain, ­passing iconic, red, bow bridges and moss covered statues ending at a small temple with stunning views at the top.

Walking under these ancient trees are some of my favorite memories of Japan.
