“Benevolent Sun” Heart-Shaped Wood Slice Art by Nanda | Handmade Nature Painting

Embrace the profound message of hope and resilience with “Benevolent Sun,” a truly unique and handmade acrylic painting by Nanda. This captivating artwork is painted on a natural wood slice, thoughtfully sourced from a fallen tree after the challenging Ontario storm in May 2022. Nanda, having experienced the storm firsthand, created this piece as a personal reflection that “beauty follows chaos,” a testament to the goodness and calm that can emerge after disorder.

The artwork itself is presented on a distinctive heart-shaped wood slice, measuring an approximate 11.25 inches (28.5 cm) in diameter. Each piece is 100% handmade: the wood was carefully cut, sanded, painted, and then completely varnished by Nanda. The natural bark is preserved around the edge and is also sealed, adding to its rustic charm and unique character.

“Benevolent Sun” features a striking and symbolic composition. The painting is split down the middle, vividly contrasting a warm, pinky orange sunset with a yellow glow on one side, transitioning into a cooler blue sky on the other. The very top of the sky subtly fades from purplish hues. A lone bare tree stands in the foreground, symbolizing enduring strength, while colourful flowers bloom in the vibrant green grass. The colors, described as vivid in real life, bring this hopeful scene to life.

This original wood slice painting is ideal for those seeking meaningful, nature-inspired decor. It makes a perfect, thoughtful gift for anyone who appreciates handmade art, loves the symbolism of resilience, or wishes to add a unique, conversation-starting piece to their home.
