Guardian of the Forest 2

After watching アルルカン's mesmerizing acoustic no-audience lives that were in a forest last month, I really wanted to paint Aki with his outfit from Day 1! This is the piece I'm most happy with so far 💚 It's like a "part 2" of the previous one I did that was in a forest again. (The bird is the same one btw! 😄)
Long story short, the message behind those 2 lives (from what I understood) was: having a certain light dwelling within our hearts, despite everything that's happening around us, which is especially relevant for this year.

The text is from what Aki said at the very end of Day 2, which is what inspired me (along with the theme of both lives): 「いつか必ず終わりが来る。そしてそれがまた次の始まりになる。向かう先を決めたならその足元を照らしてくれる。心に宿る確かな明かり。」
