A Good Warm Fire

There's something very different about the radiant heat from a good fire in a woodstove. A sense of security that soaks into your being as well as the backs of your legs if you're standing up close to it. Having dry seasoned oak to burn that you've cut and hauled out of the woods with your own hands and back is well worth the effort when you're soaking up the warmth, smells and sounds of the beautiful, crackling glow of a woodfire. I Started a new painting last night. A double portrait of my friend Eddie Tanaka and his wife Vina. I'll post a photo of the first session a little bit later today, I have to do some catching up this morning. Aloha, Timo
