Campfire Moments

Oil on panel 27” W X 36” H “Even as a young boy I had been in the habit of gazing at bizarre natural phenomena, not so much observing them as surrendering to their magic, their confused, deep language.” - Hermann Hesse This piece was inspired by magical moments spent by the fireside with brilliant little minds. I wouldn’t be surprised if a high majority of creative thought and artistic expression originated around a campfire. The flames of the fire dance and taunt us with childlike energy bursting against a brilliant night sky. The tent awaits nearby for tired eyes after a long and eventful day in the wild woods.
