"Rootwarden" is part of the second chapter of my Woodland Energy collection, released in April 2026 – and he carries a very different kind of strength.
 
There’s something steady about this piece. A quiet, unwavering presence. The badger stands deep within the forest floor, surrounded by rich foliage, hidden details, and the soft glow of life beneath the surface. He feels like a guardian of the unseen — the roots, the pathways, the layers we don’t always notice but rely on all the same.
 
Painted in acrylic on a 100cm x 50cm deep box canvas, Rootwarden features subtle metallic accents that catch the light in unexpected places — tiny flickers woven through the undergrowth, echoing the quiet magic of the woodland at night.
 
Varnished for protection and strung ready to hang, this original is sold as seen, with mainland UK postage included in the price.
 
Whether you’re drawn to the symbolism of the badger — resilience, protection, and quiet determination — or simply love artwork that feels rich, grounding and full of hidden detail, Rootwarden brings a sense of depth and steadiness into your space.
