Acrylic Landscape Painting of a Forest Stream - Time Lapse - Artist Timothy Stanford "Banks of Solace" - 12x16” - Acrylic on Canvas - After trying some road and mountain paintings, I really wanted to get back to my favorite subject: forests. This scene struck me with its abundant green foliage and tranquil creek. I’ve always found earth colors to be soothing, and this piece is no exception. I wanted it to feel like a retreat, a place of solitude where one can rest and recover from all the rigors of life.

Acrylic Landscape Painting of Sunlight in a Forest - Time Lapse - Artist Timothy Stanford "Light in the Forest" - 9x12” - Acrylic on Canvas - After doing so many recognizable landmarks, I wanted to go back to a general forest scene. This image inspired me with the bright, yellow sunlight casting such dark shadows across the foreground. That contrast of light and dark made this piece somewhat challenging, but I enjoyed playing with the purples in the reflected light. Sara says I should have named this piece “Arrival” because she thinks the light looks like a UFO landing, but I’ll let the viewer decide what this “Light in the Forest” may be!

Acrylic Wildlife Painting of a Napping Bear - Time-lapse - Artist Timothy Stanford "Mine" - 11x14" - Acrylic on Canvas - I had to paint this bear when I saw his expression and the way he’s slumped over this rock. It’s exactly how I feel when I finish a painting…exhausted and just a bit wary. Any artistic endeavor requires a lot of energy, not just to create a piece but also to keep reworking it if necessary. This piece needed to be reworked several times before I was satisfied with it. The lighting was particularly challenging, but the highlights and contrast of the warm and cool tones were a lot of fun.
