Forest Nebula exhibits a myriad of colours and application techniques, reflecting the varied plant life of the forest, and the vibrancy and energy of its growth and capacity to adapt.

The background of this work is black, and is overlayed with segments of blue, turquoise, shiny purple, bright orange and mint green. The canvas then holds alternating layers of splatter/dripwork and lined cane work. The splatter work is a combination of white, mint green, pastel peach, pastel pink, bright, cool yellow, bright blue and silver. The line work most prominent is thin and black, moving vertically across the span of the canvas, but there are also lines in silver, peach and mint green.
