These oil paintings are the first of a series of paintings about the 30,000-acre wildfire that ravaged Southern California in October 2007. The paintings illustrate the effect of fire on the native chaparral and represent recovery and re-birth following adversity. These paintings will be available when the series is completed in late 2010.
