Forest Fires This photograph had quite a bit of gold in it to begin with and the brown and blue balanced it out well. I started moving the gold around and seeing what it was feeling like with the cooler colors. As I got about half way through manipulating shapes I realized that I was seeing trees and fire. So I enhanced that idea as I put the final touches into the painting effort. I see fire and destruction. Trees trying to flee the flames and creatures reaching out to the trees for salvation. Water consumed by fire and frenzy. Ultimate incineration for everything in its path. This painting started as a photograph of a piece of glass artwork created by Garth Mudge of Glassworks in Winthrop, Wa. It was taken with a Macro lens and is a very small section of the overall object. The colors are vivid and alive due to the way that I am illuminating the glass art as I am taking the picture. In a way I am photographing the light as it passes through the object. In this particular photograph I have gone in by hand and painted over the original image. Adding my own textures and visions to the shapes and colors I started with. I have been a professional photographer for many years but it is only recently that I have been photographing glass at any level. It is such an exciting experience to discover these images. I almost feel like an archeologist as I explore a small hidden word and reveal the treasures within.
