Displayed is the start of a small fire in the bush, one part of the process to a controlled burn. The flames/fire are depicted in the dense areas of white in the bottom half of the canvas, and in the colours of the background.

Recently I’ve completed fire training that allows me to attend burn’s, something I’m quite interested in although have little knowledge of. Both the fire in this piece and my current involvement with burning are at the beginning stages.

When starting a new endeavor I often find just the act of showing up to be half the battle, with it sometimes feeling more difficult to do then the learning itself. This piece encourages showing up to do the things we’re passionate about and continuing this into the future.
