Burn with Desire

‘The light and shadows of the land at dusk in the desert can be really dramatic. When I painted the quick sketch for this painting ‘BURN WITH DESIRE’ the land looked like a fire was heading my way – the red was glowing, brilliant and strong. The land was tarnished with a red brush and I painted the simple shadows, reflections, and textures. Back in the studio I allow the spontaneity of the process to take over. Working with thick paint, iridescent pigment and a palette knife creates the textures and reflections I am after’ ~ Candyss
