Forest Fire by Val-Irene Robertson

Can feel the heat and updraft from here Val, having dealt with forest fires in the past you have captured the smoky atmosphere where everything is blurry and seems to move .

Very thought provoking Shirley

I feel very emotional looking at this painting Val, As Paul can feel the heat, I can hear the crackling of burning trees and imagine the creatures of the forest fleeing for safety. A powerful painting of our times

You’ve captured the worrying scene well. As our climate continues to heat up we will see more of this and the danger and desolation it creates.

Yes climate change is always on my mind. Whenever I paint a beautiful river scene it makes me think what will happen in the future. Thanks for the comments.

Sorry for calling you Shirley (aberration on my part!) and thank you for your lovely comment too.

A very worrying subject beautifully painted.

Thank you for looking/
