Description
Due to the todays DD on this work i found the chance to leave some decent comment here
This image was painted on a canvas,dimensions: 28,19 cm X 38,06 cm.Medium i used on this one is acrylics,image had some brightness/contrast adjuments in the end at photoshop cs3.My influence on this comes for some old painter masters and mostly Rembrandt-who is my favorite one,also,the city i live is located near to some mountains where dark forests like this one can be found,so when i have the time i do visit those places not only because they are beautiful but mostly to get some inspiration.Forest themes under this gamma are my favorites...and the landscapes i face during my little trips there give me the power and the needed feeling to create those kind of works.
Thank you all guys for looking and for visiting my gallery...your support-in any way,favorites,watch lists,etc.,
are highly appreciated!
more works like this will come eventually,stay tuned Print of this image is now available.

That is so beautiful, I love the warm colours you have used they give it a uhm earthly feel, heh it's almost sinister. O.o Still, beautiful work!
I wish I was as good as you.

Thank you so much as always for your great support and amazing words about my works Serena.I love earth colors and that specific feeling.Its a major element in my most works as you can already figure out.Well dear,about the last thing you said...All is about continues effort,hard practice and not giving up.Having faith and insisting in what you love can get you to that point eventually.I have been drawing since age 4 and drawing is all I remember doing in my life.Getting older and learning more brought me bigger knowledge through experience.So,I sure you can become as good you want,you actually can set your desired level of reach.
Besides,you are very young and you are very good already
the time is at your side.

Ah it's no problem at all, as i've said before your beautiful artwork deserves praise. It's super nice that even being such a busy artist you still find time to respond to your fans.
But oh wow thank you Manthos for those words, talk about inspired gosh, thank you!
It's great to see somebody so passionate about their art. I guess i'm a little like you, i've been drawing for as long as i can remember. It's really cool that you started from such a young age as well! Drawing is what i do in my spare time and all i did during school, i never go anywhere without my sketchbook and a pencil hehe 
Once again, thank you for those kind and inspiring words.

You are most welcome Serena,its really my pleasure.Im really glad to meet people like you so passionate about art really!I liked that you used to be in such a relation with drawing...Is exactly as I used to be younger at school,drawing all the boards,all the books and holding always in my hands a pencil to create at any chance given!Well,its a passion after all,a deep love.
By the chance I wanted to thank you for adding me in msn!I appreciate it and we will talk very soon there as well.About what you mentioned about my replies to people,ofcourse I like it,people honor me by visiting me and writing all those great comments and supporting me...is the least I can really do for them,to reply with any chance given.Besides,I do like to establish some nice relationships with as many people as I can meet here.I think is a wonderful thing,i dont like to be such a cold artist who doesnt show the smallest appreciation to his supporters.
