That's an impressive painting, @jmkartworks ! I love how you had captured the blaze of the flames and also the mixture of both melancholy and yet a rush of great relief as if something SHOULD be going up in flames... It's a difficult feeling to describe, like a glee of a child around our first bonfire as we throw things into the fire, a feeling of sudden sadness as the kindling leaves our fingertips, but also of excited anticipation to see it licked by the flames.....
Aaah
I love it, John. An incredible piece <3
Hello veryspider. One person I always enjoy hearing from is you. Yes, you take the trouble to actually look at the painting, as if you were reading it, but then you top that off by offering wonderful insights, such as your feeling that "something SHOULD be going up in flames... " This is really true, but I would not have expressed it as such until you pointed the way. I'm also grateful that you were able to feel the melancholy and sadness but also the excitement. Yes, difficult feelings to describe, but you found them in the painting! Many thanks for your comments. I appreciate them very much.
