May 3, 2016, Nood hour, Fire & Rain art project, Art Show and Tell.
In a rain forest, it's likely the sunrise facing east, but it could be wildfire if this was Alberta. I do believe Alberta is going to see a spike in wildfires this 2021. I kind of predicted it in January 2016. Remember it was May 3, 2016, when Fort McMurray's evacuation of 83,000 took place. I had already painted 4 wildfire paintings on the Alberta Legislature grounds and in front of City Hall. I was banned from painting on the Legislature grounds and threatened police action by the City and by the Alberta Government's Ministry of Infrastructure manager. 2016 (Banned 4 times) Fire and Rain art project.

Backside of "Skaters on Ice"
'Skaters on ice' by Doug Brinkman, January 1, 2020-January 1, 2021
2020-01-05 (day 2) Back of 'Skaters on ice.' This is my second year painting on the backsides of other completed paintings to practice building my confidence and honing my painting skills. I also do this to avoid shopping inside art supply stores during COVID-19. Painting by the Alberta Legislature next to the ice rink since new years day, my painting is starting to resemble a waterfall, specifically, Tsusiat falls remembered from the days I hiked the West Coast Trail in 1996, 1997, and 2000. ‘Skaters on ice’
