This painting is my interpretation of a forest spirit mourning the wildfires raging across the continent. It has been so disturbing to experience the bad air quality and see the haze hanging over the landscape just at the time we want to enjoy nature. Now nature is in turmoil.

I painted this spirit in oil on Fabriano paper and then framed her in oak from ReUse Buffalo. 
She is part of the Hallwalls Annual Members Exhibit which opens on Friday, July 14th with a reception from 6 to 10 pm.

Hope to see you there!
