As I sat by the fire, after a day's work hauling branches, I thought this would be the perfect thing to sketch. I've not drawn nor painted a fire before, so why not? With boots too muddy to go into the house, I grabbed my sketch bag from the trunk. This palette fans out, with many colors to choose from. It has remained in my car for over a year, and I can see that a few of the paints have cracked. Perhaps from the extreme temperature fluctuations? It does not affect their performance, and they were actually perfect for capturing this scene! I love sitting by a fire, watching the dancing flames as the smoke rises. A hot mug of tea, and chili awaits. Painting number 2638 in 2638 days.
Great piece. There is nothing quite like sitting by an open fire. I miss it.
