- Veins of Fire

This abstract painting was inspired by the mesmerizing flames of fire, emphasizing energy, warmth, and vitality.  The rhythmic flickering of the flames on a open pit fire always seems to grab my attention and after a while creates a calming, and meditative state within me.  The randomness of these movements combined with the glowing colours (reds, oranges, yellows) is visually stimulating and at the same time relaxing.  It was this effect that I was after when creating this painting.
