Small Fires #20

When my son sent me a few photos of a bonfire in his garden (too much hedge cutting) I felt a weird need to keep painting all those flames and cold over and over again.
There’s something quite primeval about a bonfire. Especially at the time of year when the days become shorter and the nights darker.
This series is my attempt to capture the mesmerising power of fire and in some way defeat the darkness.

Size: 6" x 6" (15 x 15 cm) unframed, in this black with gold trim frame 8" x 8" (20 x 20 cm)

SHIPPING: Orders leave my studio carefully packed with all surfaces protected.

CARE OF OIL PAINTINGS:

The good news is that oil paintings are pretty robust.

Keep away from direct sunlight and steam. Dust occasionally and your painting will last for decades.

Thanks for looking. If you have any questions please ask and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

There's something quite satisfying about a small oil painting.
To me the square ones are particularly precious and I love to hold them in my hand.
They can brighten up a small corner, make beautiful gifts and they are a wonderful way of getting into collecting original art.

Materials used:

oil paints on board
