ANC Online Auction: ‘Fire Watch’ Oil Painting — Chuck Prudhomme

‘Fire Watch’ oil painting by Chuck Prudhomme.

This 12-by-24-inch wood-framed oil painting shows someone perched on a horse’s back, surveying the horizon, where the sky is awash in rosy, golden hues, colors that could be from smoke and fire, or perhaps a sunrise or sunset. Click here to see Chuck’s ANC art posts.
