I paint forests from imagination. When you paint from pure imagination without any references, you have to face many problems and obstructions. I experienced the same. I am deeply interested in painting forests since twenty years. I had done hundreds of paintings and have been doing. Many of them, in fact, all of those were greatly appreciated and still getting appreciation. Of course, I also have been evolving from time to time. My journey started with forest light and now through forest truth. After journeying two decades through this imaginative forest, I observed and experienced one critical problem. Most of the forest paintings look like countryside landscapes. Why? I questioned it? Trying to find the answers. With time, with lot of digging, searching, probing , finally I got answer. That answer lies in thirteen concepts. In fact, these concepts are more about our perceptions, our logical thinking, and our acceptance of our own failures. In this short book, I am sharing those concepts with you.
