Description

In this late afternoon view of the Hollywood Hills near Vasanta Drive, smoke rise over the the valley during winter. Cinematography which rules around here, shadows the lives of locals and it was inspiring for me to share in this creative buzz. The weather, which was always welcome, generally came in over the Pacific and I could relate to that. My home in Australia is on the other side of the Pacific, which has become my endearing ocean now, given that I was born off the wild Atlantic ocean in Cape Town South Africa.
This canvas was painted during my stay in north Hollywood, burning an open fire to brave the chill. The days were short and during late afternoon, smoke would rise through the valley from many such hearths creating this haze. With accelerated global warming, such practices should be discouraged. Alternative forms of heating producing less carbon emissions is certainly an urgent need in the first developed world. Light filtering through the cypress trees shows Century City through the haze along the far right horizon.
