"First Light"

Waheed Nasir, using Artrage and painter, created this scluded mysterious part of a forest or jungle. Using a vast range of greens, Nasir creates an illumination in the center of this painting surrounded by darker shades of green that blend into shadows of the forest.

The focal area of this piece would be the yellow bush in the middle where the light is casting down. Then I scan over everything on the top half of this piece and finally, come down and around the middle to look at the bottom part of it where the dark shady greens come in.

I think Nasir was trying to create a forest never before seen by man. I liked how the artist left the outer part of the forest a darker shade of green while leaving the center of the piece light green. What I dislike about this piece is how the trees in the very back of the middle of the painting are a turquoise color. I would like this piece better if they were all just the lime green.
