Artist's collection

The desire to put charcoal to paper resulted in numerous sketches to start off 2025. This one became more than a sketch as worked out the composition and various details of an imagined scene based on memories. I’ve only seen night fires slowly creeping through piney woods a few times, but the phenomenon continues to call to me for representation.
