I have titled this painting Survivors. I hope you can tell this is a mountainous burn area. As sometimes happens, the fire skips certain areas and things. I have depicted a surviving pine tree and an owl waiting for any surviving rodents. With a few good rain the area will rejuvenate itself but it will be years in the restoration……click on painting to increase size….
I didn’t know that you dappled in painting too. To a novice in the arts like me, this painting is good. The meaning that you intended to convey is obvious without the explanation. I didn’t know that I had such a talented cousin. Was this painting done from a sketch, connecting the dots, or was it truly painted from a mental image? I can see that you have a means to cure any writers’ block that might come along.
Thanks for the nice comments. I took up painting the same time I did writing, just after my heart by-pass surgery. I have never had a lesson and have learned it by trial and error. To get the night effect on this painting I sat on my patio one evening and watched the Sandia Mountains darken as the sun set and tried to duplicate what I had just seen on the canvas. The painting was a mental image formed by watching the evening news reporting on all the forest fires we have in New Mexico. Thanks for the comments. I think I have one or two others on the hesterbooks.com web site but they are pretty far back. The cover to my book “Apaches, Buffalo Soldiers, That Female Reporter and Me” is one of my first paintings that I named “Contrails” after the jet contrails that decorate our skies, especially in the evening hours….
Very good painting. You have details that definitely give the viewer the setting, subject and a touch of the theme. The owl perched in the tree is a creative detail and allows the viewer to know life will continue even after such massive destruction. You are a multiple-talented man. I am very proud to say you are my uncle.
Why thank you so much, Elisa, I appreciate the kind words. I have a few other pictures of my paintings I will post from time to time. Thanks again, Uncle
