Moonlight and Fire


 Moonlight and Fire, 2021, oil on linen, 112 x 76.5 cm

This painting sat in storage for over two years. The only thing I had done to it was the moon and some clouds at the top of the painting. When I had a look at it after the two years has passed I wanted to continue working on it. I had intended to add more clouds all over the painting but I decided against it though I couldn't think of what to do to instead. Eventually I had the idea of adding fire and smoke which retained something of my first idea as smoke and clouds are similar as images.
