Update – Most of these paintings are now sold.
Please check my clearance section for any remaining fire paintings.
I read a lot about art, paintings, and artists. I can’t tell you how many times I run across the term “fiery colors“. The term is overused and typically refers to paintings containing a lot of red.
Yet I can think of no other label for this body of work which betters suits it.
These paintings are fire.
One way or another, each of them contains one of earth’s most basic ingredients.
Whether with color, flame, movement, or spirit, it seems much of my artwork finds it way to fire before it is finished. As with my other paintings, I try to simply accept this for what it is and not over-think it.
Hi Cindy, these go so well with the landscape your paintings inhabit. I remember how fire was such a big part of our lives on the farm, the fear of it getting out of control, becoming a wildfire destroying the trees my father had planted and loved. And of course fire was essential to the native longleaf pine forests that covered so much of the SW Ga. area so long ago. Trees and fire go together in various metaphorical ways in my imagination. The coastal plain sunsets can be pure fire, too. I don’t think I”ll ever get tired of watching them.
I am hoping that we can eventually work on our collaboration. The fire paintings give me a new angle now….
