WOODLAND FIRE “Woodland Fire” is one of my more interesting pieces. It has one distinct feature that occurred quite by chance. The brightness of this painting changes all day long, as the light in the room changes. Lovely to watch the intensities increase, and then fade away as evening approaches. It would ideally be hung […]
