A painting of a hillside covered with fireweed in bloom. Fireweed thrives in disturbed soil and burned areas and is one of the first plants to reestablish after a forest fire. I like the mix of saturated and less saturated colors. This one will be in a show at Artique Ltd Gallery in Anchorage in September.
The darks in the foreground work really well with the pinks. I think this is the plant we call Old Man's Beard in the UK because of its fluffy white seed heads. A weed, but I like to let a few grow wild in my garden for the butterflies and a splash of colour.
