The painting, Quiet Fire, is about an inner flame or desire, that when left to its own devices and unacknowledged for too long will eventually push fourth and sometimes can come out in a rage: ablaze and crazed. It can also present itself like a whisper in the night. Whatever expression it may take to draw our attention, its emergence is organic, as the forces of nature within search for re-balance. So, all is as it should be. Nonetheless, there is the notion that the amount of conscientious attention that is given to our inner callings will influence the color and force in which they speak to us. So, perhaps it is worthwhile learning to listen to the quiet whisper before it turns into a raging fire.
