Volcan (481)

"Volcan (481)", oil on canvas, 24 x 24 in. For sale on Etsy.

Steam and ash are erupting from the vent of a volcano. The rocky summit of the cone glows red hot in the darkness. This painting represents Volcan, color #481 in Naomi Cuno's Colorscape book. "Volcan" is French for volcano.

The painting is based roughly on a photo of a recent volcanic eruption that I found through Twitter. An undersea volcano formed a small new island inside Japan's territory.

For sale on Etsy, $200.
