Misty Forest Path Through Ancient Tree Canopy

Digital painting rendered with volumetric lighting and atmospheric effects. Path composed of stacked wooden planks recedes through central composition. Massive gnarled tree trunk dominates left foreground with deep tonal modeling. Soft diffused light penetrates canopy layers, creating god rays and warm amber highlights. Background fog density increases toward vanishing point. Foreground features purple flowering plants and layered vegetation. Color palette shifts from deep teal-blue shadows to warm golden illumination zones. Atmospheric perspective established through progressive blur and desaturation.
