PAINTING – Three steps forward and two steps back

My son Hansi and I worked on this painting together, this is the first “serious” painting my son contributed to and we both had a fantastic time producing it! We wanted to create a painting of a forest fire, with all the raging flames, heat and danger you can possibly imagine. This is another instance where all the pencil work is not clearly evident in the final pice, but was a guiding factor in the creative process. This is one of my favorite new works of an old familiar subject, I specifically like the flames and the black smoke around the fire. This painting was produced with many layers, starting with oils, then acrylic, then wall paint, then oils again and highlights of acrylic on top.

This painting is 1m x 1m in size, mixed media, on stretched canvas and was part of the collection of paintings I featured at the Wendland Gallery in Ascona, Switzerland in 2006. It was sold to a private collector.
