This painting was born out of Candace's hike of the Chilkoot Trail in north western Canada. It was alive with nature beings especially in the primal forests. Both the impasto and the brush strokes connect one emotionally to the deep forest energy and the greens resonate to the heart chakra. Our hearts are always more open in nature where we feel her loving arms surround us. Candace is a master of colour and her different qualities and hues of green make this piece particularly interesting.
The gemstones pyrite and peridot have been added to raise the level of vibration of the painting Pyrite is a grounding stone that protects from negative energies while the peridot brings a positive outlook, patience as well as a clarity of thought.
One feels to be in the depth of the forest in this painting, with its magical creatures, its beautiful light, and pungent fragrance
