The landscape drawings are hung in a grid pattern of four across and three down. The backgrounds of the twelve drawings are dark, in each a fire of a different intensity and size is burning. The fires either smolder or flames leap across the surface of the drawing. In all twelve the fires are in bright yellow and orange tinged with red and form the focal point.
