In this vivid landscape, sweeping green brushstrokes evoke a sense of natural mystery and hidden presence.

Markham’s layered strokes and interplay of texture create a dreamlike tension between concealment and revelation. The Watcher in the Woods draws viewers into a narrative space where nature is alive, aware, and perhaps even watching back. This piece is perfect for collectors drawn to psychological landscapes and mythic symbolism—an evocative addition to any imaginative or contemporary art collection.
