Wet-on-wet layered oil painting, old master style, in high detail, obvious brush strokes; a ferryboat style steamboat from the 1800s on a Central American river, a claustrophobic, delirious jungle close enough to touch, a narrow tropical fjord magnificent and enervating in the same moment. sheer walls of foliage rose hundreds of feet on each side, tropical plants sprouting from every crevice of the limestone cliffs, liana drooped to the river surface and a profusion of bromeliads and orchids covered the tree limbs and vines; sparkling clear water, a hot spring, along the river edge, oppressive air, saturated with wet, smothering heat, yet the deep shadows gave the illusion of coolness, monkeys scrambled along the vines
The prompt is comprised of descriptions from the book, "Jungle of Stone; The true story of two men, their extraordinary journey, and the Discovery of the Lost Civilization of the Maya" by William Carlsen, Chapter 'Upriver', pg 23 (Hardback edition)
