Bits of light poke through the lacy holes in the leaves, likely nibbled by caterpillars to create this effect. It’s like an elegant parasol overhead!

I used artistic license to make the image colorful, incorporating gold and magenta throughout.

The edges of the canvas are 2.5″ deep, making this painting three-dimensional.

The bright sunlight falls on the trees in the background, highlighting the thick tangle of tree trunks and branches.

Some of the leaves are filled with a blue light.

The many delicate holes are irregular shapes and sizes, creating the effect of a randomly-created lace.
