Painted in the foreground rocks at left and indicated where the camp fire is going ready for tomorrow.
This painting has taken longer than I anticipated, maybe because of the relative complexity and certainly because I made it harder for myself by not putting in the whole underpainting before I went to colour, I reckon I could have saved a couple of days at least... I guess you learn something from every painting.
The painting is a metaphor for our individual journey in life, we are literally just passing through.... through the vastness of the natural world and the complexity of society and all that that brings. That's why it's a camp fire, something temporary....
