Creeping Ever Closer!

Creeping Ever Closer! 6" x 6" x 1/4" Wood Panel

Watching the wild fires on TV in the past weeks led to this painting. It has to be frightening as the flames creep closer to your home. The picture shows one lone fire truck approaching the house. They are totally "out gunned" by the shear size of the fire. The fire fighters will make one last stand, a valiant effort to protect another property. Only a miracle will avoid disaster. Pray for their safety.

Painted with acrylic on 6" x 6" x 1/4" double primed wood panel. Protected with UV resistant varnish. Ready for framed or shelf.

Creeping Ever Closer! Detail

This art would make a wonderful gift for a firefighter family member or friend. It would also make a great remembrance for a brave hero, either volunteer or professional, who is retiring from the fire service. Perfect for home, den, "man (or woman) cave" or the fire station. If you have a child, grandchild or young person interested in fire fire fighting or emergency service, add this to their room decor. Don't forget the fire buff or collector of fire memorabilia they would love original artwork for their collection!

About Me…

Since the time I was old enough hold a pencil or a brush, I have been drawing and painting. My father owned a printing business so I had all the scrap paper any artist could want. Starting at about seven, I studied with several local artist groups in class settings. I then studied privately with a prominent local artist for about eight years. As an adult, I worked in the printing and graphic design industry, eventually owing my own business. I worked both as a professional and volunteer fire fighter for many years, painting off and on. Being attracted to the bright colored wardrobes, props, and opportunity of working with people, I started to clown about 1978. I went full time in 1992. I wrote the scripts, designed, built and painted the props and staging for over forty different shows. I designed my promotional materials. I also designed and then painted my personal canvas, my face, three to ten times a week. I am now making the transition back to my roots and training, using paint, pallet, and brush to create pictures and wall art. Much of what I am painting is from my life and work experiences. I paint what interests me at the moment. I especially love painting fire scenes in impressionist style. I want you to "feel the heat" when you view the painting! Thanks for looking!
