This is a mixed media piece based upon an acrylic painting created to present a wood effect, or tree bark effect. I applied layer after layer of paint, building up the texture suggestive of tree bark. As I worked on it I thought about what might happen to the wood, and so added a lighter shade with colours suggesting fire. The painting was then scanned and a digital acrylic layer applied. I have called the final piece Wood Fire.
