Dappling Mountain Forest Stream | Original Landscape Painting

Forest Stream In Fall Oil Painting Andrew Gaia

I just love the way oil paint can capture the myriad of colors that emerge from nature. Being able to layer my paints across the canvas landscape, I feel like I am a part of light, reflecting color back into the world. In this forest landscape scene, I was so lucky to capture this dappling light onto a mountain stream. Between the red rotting leaves, growing mosses, blue and brown waters and evergreen leaves, I got to travel the entire rainbow of the forest.

It's amazing how art and oil painting can really make you realize just how much color goes into things we normally think of as a single hue. Rocks are rarely grey, waters hardly ever blue and forests... I'm wondering now if I have ever seen a green one.

I just want to thank the world for offering me such appreciation for life and to everyone who supports my creative works. If it wasn't for you, I would have never learned to look deeply into life, and would have never found the sight to see what is uniquely my own view of the world. And even better, I get to share that all with everyone who wants to take a look of what I can do with that appreciation. Take a look, Bring it home and learn to see life in a way that is uniquely you.
