Original "Aqua Burn"© from 2008

Every now and then someone will contact me about a painting they saw online and ask if it is still available, and more often than not the painting has already sold.  This is true of one of my most popular paintings from 2008, "Aqua Burn", it sold in 2008, but prints are available of it.  A recent, new collector, reached out to see if it was possible to similarly recreate it.  I was more than happy to do so, since I haven't painted anything from my Circle of Life painting in months!  I always enjoy revisiting certain styles and colors, and this is one of my favorite color combinations for any style or painting.  

The original "Aqua Burn" was created on an 18"x24" canvas, but the new collector wanted a much larger size and we settled on a 60"x48" Genie Canvas.  I always love to paint oversized, it's challenging and the effect of larger paintings is so impressive once hung.  Here is a compilation video of the painting in process and finished hanging up in it's new home.

Below are pics of the painting hanging in it's new home in the mountains of Montana ( I lived in Montana for the first 5 years of my life :).  The beautiful mountain scene is what the painting sees looking out the window, how magnificent and beautiful is that?!

It's amazing how well such a colorful, contemporary painting can fit in with the wild rustic beauty of the collectors home they describe as "Mountain refined with log accents".  It's as though they were made for each other!  It is always such a thrill to see my art hanging in it's new home, it's as if a part of me gets to travel around the world through my art.
