12 Jars
21 January 2026
Acrylic on canvas panel
16 x 20 inches (40.6 x 50.8)
I didn't particularly like Pale so I painted over it. Some people would say not to paint over things. I would agree with that - mainly for showing evolution and/or progression. However, there are some works that would be of little to no interest to anyone - ever. There are things I liked about Pale, but it was mainly an exercise in painting a horse with no reference. Average at best. So I made an exciting, explosive sky scene. I continued with the rose color in the sky since it makes a great contrast. While an object appears to rocket toward the heavens, the title is a nod to fire from heaven. It's when fire consumes the alter Elijah built as a taunt to one built to Baal. Elijah had 4 large jars of water poured on the alter and did it three times. Read 1 Kings 18 if you're interested. Elijah was the prophet taken to heaven on a chariot of fire which is pretty awesome. Pale was from Revelation so I guess the paintings stayed on theme.
I didn't take many on-the-way pics, but to be honest, there weren't that many.
Pale is on the left.
