"Arms to Heaven" ©2023 Niki Gulley
30" x 30" textured mixed media painting on 1.5" deep canvas with the painting wrapping around the edges
In this painting I wanted you to feel that child-like wonder of staring up in into the treetops and heavens above. Choosing uplifting autumn tones contrasted against a turquoise blue sky, gentle clouds drift by as the sun peeks through casting its magical light on everything it touches and lifting your spirits. Arranging the trees in a circular pattern gives you a sense of laying on the ground, surrounded by the forest and directs your eye to hope's focal point. Utilizing thick, energetic paint strokes adds to that joyful, playful feeling of promise and discovery.
