Acrylic and watercolor on canvas board

2023

I painted the background using watercolors in 2019 when I was starting to experiment with abstraction but didn’t do anything else with the canvas board until now. Every year I hear about the numerous wildfires that plague California every summer and I wonder how people living in the danger areas deal with a yearly disaster. The grey/orange background reminded me of what the sky looks like when a wildfire is producing smoke so I painted red/orange blobs in the foreground to represent burning trees.
