A Yukon Burn with Fireweed

Original Acrylic on Canvas
5x7

A typical Yukon burn will have the standing dead trees and the official flower for the Yukon will bloom year after year after the fire is long gone.  
This is a typical summer day with blue sky and wispy clouds and a profusion of flowers.  The Fox Lake Burn between Carmacks and Whitehorse is the subject of this painting.  
In 1998 there was a huge fire in the Braeburn and Fox Lake area.
