Thanks Kal, I should have cropped it better.

Yes Derek lovely feeling of distance into the smoky fiery furnace. Poor trees hope it wasn't a dropped fag

You're on fire with these Derek! Can't think of a better way to use a credit card.

A scorcher, Derek! Really superb work, you can really feel the energy of the leaping flames.

Using a Nat.Geo.book I was given on my 75th b/day, on 30 x 40cm mountboard primed with gesso and cad orange. Various stages through this morning. I think I have finished it. Brushes initiallly then the credit cards came into play. It is the largest I have done for a while. C&C very welcome. I posted a WIP on this in 4 stages on the Wet Canvas website too. Will be interesting to see what they say, very international bunch. Sorry Linda, didn't know this would appear next to your forest scene.

Eleventyeight as my hashing pals called my new age recently, it's supposed to sound better. Trying to paint every day in acrylics using only expired credit/debit cards, and partially succeeding as they're only for me and not show these days.
