Fire Road 30
2024 • Oil paint and cold wax on cradled wood panel
The inspiration for this piece was from a photo I had taken while hiking one of favorite trails in the Santa Monica Mountains nearby my home. Little did I know then, that trail among many others, would soon be consumed and made inaccessible due to those destructive fires.
While saddened by the amount of tragedy and loss, I am in awe of the heroic work of those that fought the fire in the air and on the ground where those dirt roads and trails did their job of providing access for the brave firefighting personnel and their vehicles to wage their battle.
I now look at this painting with an extra layer of meaning and sentimentality, feeling grateful for the years of exploration on that trail and hopeful to being able to return to it ❤️
