#89 – Nightwood

Forest fires are not something we aim to experience, so they are not often depicted in paintings or other works of art. The brightness of the quinacridone red flames is both beautiful and a terrifying reminder of mother nature’s reign. When in control and by natural causes, forest fires are an organic source of rebirth, allowing nature to start again with new nutrients. Interestingly, jack pine and lodgepole pine have serotinous cones (protected by a waxy coating) that require the heat of fire to release their seeds. Fire also produces favourable conditions for the seeds of these pines to germinate.
