.........................................................................................................
My Forest of Earthly Delights by VIVA Anderson, my precious,private,dreamscape,
is my abstract response to this hidden glade in a dense forest,full of delicious aromas of undergrowth and stately trees, where the sprites play, the birds sing, the fauna are free, and the air is so pungent, it is intoxicating. This is a place of refuge , a place of serenity, of natural beauty. I honour those who now work steadfastly to save our forests, and our world.
OFFERED ONLY FOR SMALL PRINTS, due to this very old photo, quality.
Heronious Bosch: from The Guardian, his My Garden of Earthly Delights:
"There is a curiosity, a freedom of thought, an appetite for discovery in this painting that still makes us see ourselves in it. Bosch painted the modern world before it existed. This Renaissance visionary imagines boundless New Worlds. His masterpiece is a prophecy of us."
"My Forest of Earthly Delights", VIVA Anderson, celebrates luxurious freedom, in the
spirit of the Master, H.Bosch.
''The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn''. Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Art is personal.. and is defined by oneself. I like it beyond definition.

Dear VIVA, on this SECOND day of tribute, I am taking the deep dive into your PAINTINGS COLLECTION, a TREASURE TROVE of Colour , Emotive and Sensory spaces...Were I to stay here the remaining exhibit duration, I could not adequately do justice to the riches contained herein. I am selfishly visiting personal favorites of mine...the first beauty is PURE ENCHANTMENT...a revisitation which has long fallen from the comment stream ...pushed away by the many admirers who followed me...THANK YOU FIR THE MAGIC!
VIVA Anderson replied:
Laurel, YOU are Magic! I am overwhelmed, honored, by the beautiful justice of your commitment to this endearing, Tribute. YOU, make it all worthwhile, dear Friend. 🙏♾ VIVA
