Under the Canopy

In Under the Canopy April says she wanted the world under the tree canopy to be a bit indistinct and mystical. A few dragonflies are present, some created in fused glass and some created by building up an acrylic gel "painting" to add depth to the painted dragonflies. Several colors are layered to create the mystery of the woods. As in her earlier painting, "Standing Tall", the roots are visible penetrating the ground like we are looking at a cross section of the forest.
