Oil on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

Consisting of two artworks, the diptych Bushfire was painted very quickly (each piece in less than an hour, following priming and drying of base). I worked from a lush green photo I had taken of a scene which since burned. In the first piece, the short bold bright brushstrokes represent the violence and power of the flames. The second artwork evokes the space and emptiness; the aftermath of combustion.
