Dream Portal

Dream Portal, Acrylic, 18 X 24 Inches

In Dream Portal I try to use color and light to evoke the filtered light common on woodland trails, inviting the viewer to take a walk with me. I love the woods and have been exploring all of my life. I am also a dreamer and more likely to daydream than be fearful when alone in the woods.
