Dramatic Light in the Rainforest

Image Number: 
PS153

This painting springs from the same woodland's walk in a rainforest near Roberts Creek, B.C. as Rainforest Walk, Image # PS152. I was amazed by the type of light in a tightly treed forest of that sort. The light floods down from straight above reminding me of spotlights in a theatre. The areas where the light cannot penetrate are quite dark and almost spooky.

Rainforest Walk

Following a healthy lunch with friends at the Gumboot Cafe in Roberts Creek we were lead, by a woman from Sechelt, on an hour long walk through a piece of rainforest just down the road. This area of B.C.'s Sunshine Coast, just north of Vancouver, is still home to many counter-culture hippie types that seem to be stuck in the 1960s.
