I.F. SPACE

He coaxed the signal into SPACE. What was the message? "This day, fire danger extremely high".



This morning I watched a billowing cloud of smoke rise into space from a neighboring city. I had this image run through my head and painted it for Illustration friday. Thoughts and prayers go out my friends in Saratoga Springs.

    Very nicely executed Jim. Your use of color and value is well executed and points the viewer where they need to go.

    You always seem to inject great gesture and personality into your characters (even when the characters are puffs of smoke). Another nice one Jim!

    Wow! Totally magical. I love it. Somehow you got those smoke puffs to look seriously fluffy!

    What a really cool scene - from your use of light, to the action (I can almost see him moving!) The clouds of smoke actually seem to have personality! And I love the warm tones.
