Sometimes the most interesting pieces of art emerge by having so many of the same object in the same space that your eye just naturally travels across the images to follow the pattern. This is not different with forests full of trees.
If the forest is packed full of trees so that there are rows upon rows of trees, your eye will move across the image until it reaches the other side because it wants to follow the pattern. These images are good to hang up if you want to help move your visitor’s eye across your room with a nice piece of art!
Take “Aspen Forest” by Miro Kenarov. It clearly depicts a forest-focused piece of art, but what makes it captivating is the number of trees you see. It appears almost endless the way the artist painted with very bright and vivid colors in the foreground of the picture and changed them to darker shades in the background.
Some make your eye follow a path with an actual path in the picture, like “Forest Path” does. This forest tree art has a clear dirt path in the center of the image that fades as it gets further into the distance with rows upon rows of trees surrounding it. The darker color of the dirt floor also catches your attention because of how much light is within the image.
“Birch Forest” by Lisa Congdon is fairly unique compared to the other images I mentioned because it is a bit of an optical illusion. Many other pieces of forest tree artwork also includes a lot of limbs and leaves. This image only has the trunks of birch trees in the image with two very distinct colors as the background color and the color leading into the foreground. The only way to tell there is any depth here is by looking at the foreground, where you are likely to follow the pattern the tree trunks go from the foreground into the background.
