Wildfire I could almost feel the heat and smell the smoke ...like my brush was on fire. This painting began as a non-objective abstract work but evolved into a semi-abstract piece as the subject of fire revealed itself to me (Sometimes a painting tells you what it wants to be and you should listen). The elemental power of fire is terrifying when burning with uncontrolled fury. The California wildfires have resulted in over 253,000 acres of burned land just this year. Australia wildfires have claimed nearly 20 million acres and nationally, the lives of over 1 billion animals. Because Australia sees the effects of climate change before other parts of the world, these fires could be a preview of what's to come globally. I still remember as a kid watching Disney's movie Bambi with the frightening forest fire threatening the lives of all the forest animals, the soundtrack added to the terror of the scenes. The fire itself seemed like a living creature hellbent on destroying everything in its' path! Who else remembers the old Disney classic?

" I love the romance of the city at night. I am a painter of contemporary night city scenes, Abstracts, Urban Fantasy scenes and narrative works inspired by pop culture. I try to express mystery, beauty, and wonder in all my work. Lights glittering like broken glass have always fascinated me. The sparkle of city street lights, the neon signs, and the pulsing glow of traffic, create a sense of excitement and an underlying feeling of danger and edginess that is almost intoxicating!" Why I love to paint the rain - "An early childhood memory of a car ride with my parents during a cold night thunderstorm has been indelibly etched into my mind. Huddled in the back seat under a wool car blanket with my brothers and sister, I was warm and safe as the rain pounded the metal roof and the tires swished and hissed through the flooded streets. Surrounded by warmth and hearing the murmur of my parent’s voices I drifted in and out of sleep and watched the wavering reflections of colored lights reflected by the streams and droplets on the steamy window glass. I have never felt as safe and loved as I did that night. Lulled by the rhythm of the windshield wipers and the sound of distant thunder, I fell asleep. Even today a stormy weather soothes me, but I also do some of my best painting when working on rainy days." ~ Tom Shropshire
