The Old Hideaway

More about The Old Hideaway

An extremely detailed, photorealistic digital painting of an enchanted forest edge, where a small spring gushes from a pile of stones; its water flows over moss-covered roots and rocks, surrounded by large, ancient tree trunks and lush foliage. In the background, the sun is setting, bathing the rolling hills and a distant valley in golden light, whilst mist rises from the trees. On the left, near the base of a large tree, a red-capped mushroom (Amanita muscaria) with white spots can be seen. On the right, a small field mouse sits on a moss-covered root. In the foreground is a piled-up combination of the remains of an old tree – its remaining roots – and stacked stones, from the top of which clear water gushes forth. Various types of green plants and ferns enhance the composition. The sky is a mixture of orange, yellow and blue with scattered clouds. Fallen leaves lie on the ground and float in the air. Autumn is on its way.
