The Rumor

It might not be easy to see....but the whole horizon is on fire.

I entitled the painting The Rumor.....because rumors are said to spread like wildfire.
The single match in the woman's hand is to generate a sense of mystery about what on Earth is going ON in this painting. From 'did she start the fire?' to... 'did she start the rumor?'

That sort of mystery keeps the eye moving around the picture looking looking ....for answers and understanding.
