I love your description, you have a way with words. very good dramatic paintings, great subject matter. my brother in law is a firefighter, tough job which deservingly earns a lot of respect :)

Thanks Martin, I like to give my paintings some words to help the viewer feel the art. I too have a lot of respect for all that our firefighters do for everyone, they are the most wonderful people.

This was my first attempt at fire so not as good as II and III and I had some trouble with the smoke; I used masking fluid to keep the white area clean but in my later paintings I skipped that step and just did a wet on wet. This is a series of 5 watercolor paintings I just completed; they were inspired by my nephey "Joey" whose dream is to become a firefighter. May his passion help him reach his goal! Thoughts about fire: Flicker and burn, crackle and spark. I see flames lick and lash at the ground. Red-hot heat sears all in its path, embers and ashes lay all around. Fear or anger, a fire burns within us; revolving around our soul, evolving into the forest fire. Fire, flames of anger; in love, a fire in your heart? Relieve all those fiery moments. Whether it be love or anger, a fire burns inside you. Let that fire continue to rage.
