There was a terrible forest fire in Los Alamos, NM in 2000. What remains today are bare black trees and areas of green regrowth. As a plein air painter I am drawn by the mystery of this burnt forest. I didn't witness the flames but when I painted there recently the flames & smoke appeared on the clayboard.
