Dwelling In the Secret Place | Limited Edition Print (10)

From Psalm 91:1 — “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”
The hidden cabin, bathed in golden light, feels like that secret place — a refuge, sacred and protected.

This painting portrays a mystical forest glowing with enchantment and wonder. Here’s what stands out:
• Dominant Tree: A thick, moss-covered tree leans diagonally across the foreground. It appears ancient and magical. Nestled in its trunk are tiny round doorways or openings, glowing with a soft white light — possibly homes for little forest beings or spirits. One opening is pitch black, adding contrast and mystery.
• Magical Lights: The glowing white orbs climbing up the tree hint at fairy-like activity or the presence of nature spirits ascending or descending a hidden staircase.
• Enchanted Forest: The background is rich with dreamy blues, purples, and soft pastel hues. Light filters through the trees in a surreal, almost divine way. Mist clings to the ground, adding depth and a sense of secrecy.
• Cottage in the Distance: On the right side, tucked behind flowering bushes, a small wooden house glows warmly from its windows, suggesting safety or sanctuary. The house contrasts the wild magic of the forest — perhaps a guardian lives there?
• Vibrant Flora: The foreground and surrounding areas are filled with vivid wildflowers in pinks, purples, and reds. This detail adds life and emphasizes the untouched beauty of the forest.

This painting feels like a visual fairytale — a glimpse into a realm where nature is alive with mystery, and every tree may hold a secret.
