‘burning roots’ painting, acrylic on canvas, 30 x 30”
The drawing, and the photographs for the ‘burning roots’ painting. From a photo I took at at a friend’s house. It’s a dead orchid, I think, thrown onto the fire. I like the colour of the roots and the high contrast with the flames and the burning wood.
The original photograph.
I painted the first layer of paint on the flames, and the roots, now I can do the background.
Working on the background. Maybe I’ll get it finished today? Tomorrow?
