As fate would have it, this painting is hanging right now at the Provincetown Art Museum in a group show in their spacious exhibition gallery. “In the Spirit of Fire,”was painted back in 2017, with oil stick, acrylic, pigment and mixed media on a 24”x24” wood panel. Owing to our pandemic lockdown, it’s been hanging there all of this spring and summer, until the museum finally reopened in July. By that time, the title of this painting, channeled from somewhere in the ether — as was most of the painting itself – has become more relevant, revelatory.
