I have some 7x7" watercolors of the fire/helicopters coming, but for now, this quick study of the fire which unfortunately I actually saw and breathed. Today's scent of jasmine which grows out my front door is much more pleasant.
James Hubbell, well known organic architect and artist, did paintings of the Cedar Fires of 2003, as they burned his hand-built home to the ground (25 miles from where I live). Your work reminds me vividly of his. gosh I love your sketches!
I love the jasmine sketch and they are so wonderfully fragrant. You see way too many fires. I hope you're safe and sound and no more smoke for a while.
Great paintings - that fire is amazing. I grew up in Southern California and remember those fires so well; the smell is unforgettable.
