Artist's Comments

Finally got a good high-quality photo of this one. I included the edges of the frame as much as possible because this canvas is weathered and worn- notice the fraying on the top left and bottom right. you can't see them, but the staples on the sides have left rust marks on the canvas. I bring this up because I feel it's important for the piece. deconstruction baby, yeah. I like the staples.

Technically, the title of this is "One Last Fuck/The Forest Fire", and this is acrylic on canvas. Was doing some emotional venting with paint november '02, and this is what came of it. complete subconsicous expression here, titled after the fact (much after.. better than calling it 'the red one').

What's with the title? Read up on how forest fires are used to clear the dead growth in a forest to keep it healthy, apply that to a relationship, and you'll get the idea.

20"X24".

Very nice. Clearly a very emotional piece, and not only because the description suggests so.

smokey the bear says:
only you can prevent forest fires.

very...VERY...emotional piece.
red is generally a color notioned with anger or love.
so the split in the title is wondeful...since ending a relationship that was based on love can cause alot of anger.
and of course the signifigance that fire is red and orange.

splendid splatters....the scanner lines suck...but the painting is incredible enough to allow the viewer to see past them.

wonderful work!!

this was all palette knife, so there are technically no splatters. more like scrapes and cuts.

one of the best ways I've ever found to vent violently without hurting someone. gotta love it. :P
