This is my newest painting in my Wildish Spirit series. I was inspired to paint this after all of the fires in California and Australia.
I started thinking about it when we had fires here in California last year. Then a friend of mine, who lives in Australia, had to evacuate from her home twice this last Fall. So I thought I would create a painting of one of my forest spirits rescuing animals from both Australia and California to honor all the animals that were lost in the wild fires.
This is my original sketch for the painting. I enlarged it on a copy machine.
This is the background of the painting.
Here are a few in-process photographs.
Almost complete…
And here is a close up of the character and animals in the painting.

OH YEAH…but I can still take out the trash–with a face mask on, of course! It also helps to have our own internet in the apartment. So I’m not getting into trouble (!) trying to catch the limited range “house” wifi. My wife gets to go out three times a week for her dialysis—I can’t go with her anymore. 😦 And you?

We are doing well, my husband and I are both working from home. Fortunately, my studio is in our back yard.

GOOD DEAL…AS FAR AS IT GOES. We have to put our laundry OUTSIDE the building if we want the laundry service to pick up. 😦
