Angel Waiting

i had all these samples of house paint and decided, hmmm 'why NOT?'...

this was a dream... an Angel looking over the city, tattered and weary from the battles he has been in. his head hangs low from exhaustion. behind him sits a little imp on a rock, scowling with arms folded.

this is my interpretation of the fires in the mountains.

on the left side is one tree, below the floating flowers, the middle are the burning hot embers and at the top right is the billowy smokey sky. adding the human element to the painting was important to this piece because i believe people who have started fires throughout California do not understand the pain they cause around them. symbolically painting my hand and pressing it into more wet palette knife paint was such an emotional response for me. i wish it were that easy to put my stamp on such a horrible situation.

have fun today & the rest of the week... time is too precious to waste it on anger~
