I had been considering painting a teleportation scene for some time but had not yet decided on the main subject. Then, earlier this year, news about the California wildfires was everywhere. It’s not just California; here in Minnesota, we are also affected by wildfires in Canada every year. There are days when air quality alerts are issued due to smoke drifting from the north. The smell is unpleasant in every way. However, at least we don’t have to face the wildfires directly. Then the idea of fleeing the wildfire site comes to my mind. The teleportation portal suits this scene perfectly. A train—perhaps a rescue or evacuation train—is rushing through the portal, which connects the active fire site to a cool, peaceful town. The fiery sparks transform into gentle snowflakes, and the inferno’s red heat is replaced by a calming blue chill. Although I tried my best to match the digital image the same as actual painting but the color may vary due to different monitor and monitor settings. Please be aware of this fact. Hope you enjoy this one. :D
