fire in the fen: mixed media on canvas; 2010
The subject of fires in the fens as well as heathland fires has been the subject of several of my prints during the 1980's. The fires in the fen were set by famers in order to burn off the stubble after harvesting the crop. The small glowing red fires and pall of jet black smoke together with a setting sun was always a colourful and dramatic sight.
On the other hand the fires I witnessed in the heather covered heath was always disturbing.
