On the way out of Hope, we passed another fire that was rapidly climbing a steep hillside, resisting the best efforts of the helicopter water-bombers to control it. That one looked like it was started by a cigarette butt tossed out of a car window.
This painting is in response to the pine beetles and fires, which will only become worse and more frequent with a warming, drying climate. I carved beetle tunnels into the wood panel before painting the smoke-covered forest scene. It's truly infested. -Carol
