I was inspired to do a series celebrating the "natural elements" of classical antiquity- Earth (Land), Water, Air (Wind), Fire and Space. I used matching sized canvases but tried to envision each element on its own, realizing that each is integral to the natural world in which we live. With "Fire", I envisioned a burning flame that reaches up into a dark night. I hope to convey a sense of radiance and warmth with this piece.
