I can't even explain why, but it was like nothing I had ever experienced. I found myself staring. Completely transfixed. Hypnotized by the flames. I went on to explore more of his work – scenes on rivers and in woods; of rural and wild beauty. Places I wanted to be. Places that felt familiar and intimate. And the light; always the light. Rendered in that perfect form. It grabs me, pulls me in close, and beckons me to stay a spell. You can read my full interview with Brent here.
