After the Fire

Medium
Painting - Acrylic On Canvas Sheet
Description
This piece on canvas sheet was inspired by the regrowth I could see after the wildfires in Yellowstone National Park. Upon my return home, I got news that wildfires had broken out in the California hills near to my Aunt and Uncle. It was then that I sought to express the many mental notes I had made to myself about those fires. The inspiring thing to me was the amazingly beautiful regrowth throughout the area. I thought deeply what it must have been like on those dark and fearful days during the fires when it might have seemed that all would be lost. Yet it was not. This depiction presents light piercing the darkness. There is hope in green and living plants for a brighter tomorrow in the foreground (they look like they are praying). The awful days of the fire are in the background with nothing but a wisp of smoke trailing away. Life renews. Even the tenacious little grasses and plants say to you, do not give up. It is my hope this painting brings you inspiration, courage, and hope for a bright future when the going gets tough!
