Very dramatic, very hopeful scene, Martin, and a great technique

Thanks Thalia Stephen Anne Dixie and David. Appreciate you commenting. Of course you’ll realise that this combination of colours and lighting is impossible in reality but that’s the fun and beauty of art that we can create the impossible

A huge moorland fire devastated parts of Hatfield Moors in May 2020. Thousands of stumps of mainly young birches were left in the blackened ruin. Some survived around the edges and near watercourses.

White pen and ink and inktense pencils on black Etival wc paper A4
