Waldo Canyon Wildfire (Acrylic Watermedia) as of December 29, 2020



This is my current project as it looked yesterday.  This is a representation of the Waldo Canyon Wildfire of  2012, which took place near Colorado Springs.  My painting reference (posted here December 22) is a photo that I took during a visit to Colorado in 2016. I used Painter's digital pastel to add colors suggesting fire and smoke.  Yesterday I was still working on the composition and the shapes of the mountains in the distance.  I added some shadows for definition and some texture to suggest burned-out forest. To be continued. . .
