This is a layered oil, 40x30, add an extra 1.5 inches to the height and width for the frame. That frame is an artist constructed, black, box frame. The concept of the piece has its basis in the ongoing California fires (Fire in the Hills). They are currently flaring anew, probably the fresult of global warming. At the same time, California's reservoirs and general water supply are shrinking.

This is a vivid piece, and the black frame serves to heighten the intensity of the colors.
