Fire on the South Coast

I saw a photo on twitter(I'll dig up a reference sometime) of a south coast headland looking like a Conrad Martens or von Guerin misty rainforest landscape - but the mist was bushfire smoke from a raging inferno generating its own thunderstorm

 

 

Adding some trees

Like an Eugene von Guerin on fire. Or Conrad Martens with smoke replacing mist on a South Coast headland covered with twisted windswept bush - which I haven't painted much of yet

 

Here's another painting of a huge smoke column in Gippsland from the same catastrophic 2019-2020 fires in Australia
