Here's sharing an image of a new addition to my 3D tactile paintings.<br>
It’s called ‘Secret Woods’.<br>
Description : Measuring 18X15 inches, it has a waterfall in between<br>
huge greyish rocks; all  of it covers the upper  portion from left to<br>
the center. The rocks have greenish moss towards the sides closer to<br>
the waterfall.  Towards the right, just beside the rocks, there are<br>
several  trees  that are colored green and yellow. Above the waterfall<br>
and the trees, there’s the sky, most of which has hues of orange<br>
indicating the sunshine.<br>
The water is cascading into the lake below which is colored in shades<br>
of blues and also has 3D ripples and waves. Towards the bottom<br>
portion, there’s the land covered with green grass. Towards its left,<br>
there’s a fallen old tree that has a   tree hole.  Around this tree,<br>
there are fallen yellow leaves. Towards the right side, right at the<br>
shoreline, there’s a deer drinking  water from the lake.<br>
Everything in this painting is 3D and can be touched; the waterfall,<br>
rocks,  trees,  ripples and waves, fallen tree, tree hole, leaves  and<br>
the deer.<br>
It took me 40 hours to finish it.  The waterfall was a tricky one as I<br>
had to keep it 3D as well as merge it with the lake at the bottom.<br>
Happy to share that Lou Ann here from NFB is purchasing this painting.<br>
<br>
Aishwarya.<br>
