The oil painting “Wild Fires” by Brian Williams is soothing and breathtaking. Williams effectively captures the essence of a fire erupting on a landscape. His palette is a perfect mixture of muted and bold colors. The positioning of the landscape shapes is strikingly beautiful, emphasizing the streaks of red. The soft brush strokes of orange and the quiet tones of blue set off the fire bursts in the center of the piece. “Wild Fires” is quite extraordinary, in that it creates a beautifully sad scene of a forest fire. Williams clearly excels in capturing this bittersweet piece.
