Forest Friends Greeting Card by Artist Josephine Wall

Forest Friends
In a sunlit glade, a child of the woods with a special affinity for all forest creatures sits and waits for them to assemble. As the animal friends gather round, they sense the child's kind and free spirit. Comforted by this positive energy, all thoughts of flight or fight are gone. They forget their fears and simply enjoy each other's company, watched over bythe forest spirits amongst the trees.

Dictionary Terms Explained

Josephine Wall - Painter
Josephine Wall was born in Farnham, Surrey, England. Her work now is receiving worldwide acclaim inlcuding a nomination at the Arty Awards (the artworld equvalent of the oscars). She works mostly with acrylic paint and has been infuenced by the romanticism of the Pre-Raphaelites, surrealist artists like Salvador Dali and the illustrative work of Arthur Rackham.

From childhood she has had a passion for light and colour, fantasy and visual story telling. Much of the inspiration for her mystical images comes from her close observation of nature and her interest in its preservation. Though she often strives to impart a message in her scenes, she also hopes to inspire in her audience a personal journey into the magical world of their own imagination.

"The art of painting is more than a career to me," she says, "it is an all consuming obsession and a love of colour and form. In fact, if I am away from my easel for too long I become restless and anxious to paint again."
