Layne Johnson // FINE ART on Instagram: "“Why do you paint your canvas brown, then paint over it?” That’s the number one thing I get asked about.

The painting is in a realistic style and depicts a mountain landscape. The foreground is a meadow with a variety of flowers, grasses, and trees. A stream runs through the meadow, and in the background are snow-capped mountains. The sky is blue and there are some clouds. The painting is done in muted colors and has a peaceful, serene feeling.
