Voices of the Forest

Cheryl Ann Bearss

March 31, 2021 to April 24, 2021

I paint trees “plein air” and from my imagination in both oil and acrylic.  I am inspired by the forest that lay waiting only minutes from my house.  When I enter a wooded area, I retreat from everyday concerns. I have traveled across the country, soaking in the beauty of the natural world.  I love a forest while it is resting during the winter months.  I can clearly see the interconnected roots and branches.  I have recently enjoyed the books, The Overstory, Powers and The Hidden Life of Trees, Wohlleben, which speak of the connection of all things in a forest.
