Giant red frogs in a forest scene, in front of a Japanese shrine however set in the forests near Sherbrooke Falls. From the series created for Forest Dreaming - an exhibition of paintings at Artemisia in Windsor from May-June 2026 - forest landscapes with anachronistic elements painted from life, memory, experience and a various photo references. The idea to paint the shrine in the forest undergrowth came to my whilst I was working on the under drawing for this piece, and it made its way into the final layer along with the red frogs keeping watch over the path below.
