“Sunset Reflection” Wood Slice Painting by Nanda | Handmade Rustic Mountain Art

Discover the serene beauty and profound symbolism of “Sunset Reflection,” a completely handmade wood slice painting by Nanda. This unique and meaningful artwork was created on a piece of wood sourced from a fallen tree after the devastating Ontario storm in May 2022. “Sunset Reflection” represents the good that can emerge from disorder, evoking a sense of calm, warmth, and happiness after a storm.

This piece is more than just a painting; it is 100% handmade from start to finish. The wood slice, with a 7-inch (18 cm) diameter, was meticulously hand-cut, sanded, and painted. The original bark remains intact and, along with the entire piece, is varnished with Varathane to ensure a beautiful and lasting finish.

The art itself is a testament to balance and tranquility, featuring a stunning, symmetrical composition. The top half of the piece depicts a beautiful pinky orange sunset over the silhouette of mountains, while the bottom half captures its perfectly mirrored reflection on a calm lake. The top of the sky is a purplish hue, which fades into the warm orangey-pink tones of the sun, accented by a bright yellow glow.

“Sunset Reflection” is a unique and rustic artwork ideal for those who appreciate natural and meaningful decor. Its symbolism makes it a thoughtful gift and a perfect addition to spaces dedicated to contemplation and calm, such as a study, bedroom, or living area.
