Comment from Mr Jones
yes a great construction and meaningful presentation. always a joy to see a thought provoking work + unnatural fires are very destructive and stupid. you have made something quite beautiful from a terrible and tragic event. really lovely how this digital art falls into place.

Thank you! I am happy, you like that provoking work. I was stunned when I saw the photo and read the original story of the fire. It was one of the most complicated I ever painted. I did not know how hard it is to paint smoke, especially if a face has to appear in it.

This is quite wild. I love the smoke and fire in this. Does not look like anywhere I would want to be. Great job.

Oh my, what a wonderful assessment you have done of your own work. Truly lovely piece with such an impact on the viewer especially when combined with the Artists notes. Capturing the pained look on Nature's face is so aptly descriptive. Wonderful job.

Wonderful art! So creative and a great interpretation of the original photograph. I can see that a lot of work was involved here. It's original and interesting.

Comment from corrinas creations
I love this Cleo! You have captured the face in the flames so well and the painting seems so alive. I really like the kind of impressionist feel with the brush strokes its a soft mix between that an abstract, it really is quite unique. Beautifully put together and created and bounded to be a strong contender if not the winner ;)

Thank you very much. I don't know if I would have painted it if I would have known at the start how difficult it is to paint smoke as such, and how more difficult kit is to have appearing a face with the intended impression in it. :-)

Well done...indeed. I don't understand all the digital stuff, but it looks very much like an acrylic or oil, where you used large brushes and short but bold strokes in the smoke and fire and smaller brushwork in the tree. I like the work you did on the fire and the smoke...from a distance it does look like a face, and up close it still can look like a fire. I really like this piece of art. Excellent work

Interesting notes.equally interesting art. The treatment of the scene makes it interesting viewing. Fine composition, soft colours and good play with shadow and light makes this very viewable!
