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.

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