The larger view of this piece is very striking- bringing out the subtle blending of impressionism and pointillism in this piece (at least to my untrained eye). Your choice of warmer color heightens the ‘heart’ of the title. Your portfolio is most intriguing-I’ll have to explore further… Peace, DougW

I was browsing the “Realist Traditional Art” group and this piece really stood out to me. I’m not sure why – I think it was the depth of the forest. Very nice work of art!
