Monte Verde translated in Spanish means 'green mountain' and inspiration for this print comes from the beautiful Monte Verde Cloud Forest in Costa Rica. A cloud forest occurs within tropical mountainous environments where there is consistent cloud cover and nearly 100% humidity throughout the year. This wet enviroment allowed for eco systems within eco systems. We were totally fascinated by how each tree trunk was completely inhabited by hundreds of smaller specimens of and thats was the starting point for the design. Hand Painted in Gauche on Watercolour paper.
