Painted Forest finishes to 59-1/2in x 60in.

I grew up in the woods. Well, we had a house, but we always had some sort of forest to play in. And back then, if we weren't watching the three channels on TV, we played outdoors. A lot. I also drew and colored for much of my childhood! I loved my 64-count box of Crayola's. So it is only natural that Painted Forest came to the surface of the designs floating around in my head, combining my love of the forest and color.

Create your own fantasy forest from all of your favorite scraps. You can use all of your floral scraps with various light or low-volume prints as I did in the model, or you can plant your forest in your own leftover bits. How about a plaid forest in browns and reds? Or maybe a wintery forest in all blues and silvers. Or go super-dramatic with a black-and-white forest against a backdrop of various reds. The variations are about as limitless as, well, the number of leaves on a tree.
