Hell Fire © Donna Pierce-Clark

A little diversion from the wind and the water...........Fire.
All shape the earth: the wind, the water, and the fire.
All cleanse and re-shape whatever they touch.
Forces of Nature, The Hand of God.
With the Wind and with the Water,
something is left behind.
But, with Fire, nothing is left behind.
At least nothing tangible.
If the thing consumed is human,
there is a spirit that must go somewhere.
Eternity.
What is left after the fire?
Where will our spirit be, for Eternity?

    Ouch …. that is exactly the first thought that came into my head when I first saw this one. It looks like what I would expect hell to look like.

      Lol........that's exactly what happened to me as I was completing this painting. These inks are poured, tilted, and re-tilted numerous times. As I let them dry, titles begin popping into my mind. "Hell Fire" was the first and only title that came to mind, it stuck.

Liquid Visions - 30 Paintings in 30 Days Alcohol Inks on Yupo January 31, 2014 Evening Waterfall © Donna Pierce-Clark ~ Evening Waterfall, because of the metallics used, was a bit difficult to photograph. The owner of this one will have a hard time deciding the best lighting  and where to hang it because in different angles, Evening Waterfall has varied and beautiful presentations! ~ The whole 30 in 30 all in one place........ VOTE!  Which one did you like the best?

Touch of Pink, 5 x 7 oil, still life

Touch of Pink © Donna Pierce-Clark ~ Stages of Touch of Pink ~ First the drawing.....    ~ Then, the initial paint-in, just shapes and colors. ~ Then highlights and sparkles and dots! ~ On to the large easel........ ~ ~ Above is my large studio easel, on which I have started a 24" x 36" canvas in oils. We traveled to Rainbow Bridge on a river cruise several years ago and this canvas was actually begun soon after that trip. I think this poor canvas has been neglected for at least 3 years!  I am so happy to be back to this painting.  Below, you can see a few later stages of development and the photo reference on the computer monitor, from which I paint.  Ideally, I would prefer to be painting on location;  but, I'm happy to use the computer monitor for now. ~ To the left of the easel, I also have a still life table. If I am doing a large still life, I'll use this set up and the larger easel. At this time, howev
