Shortly after releasing my print Air Operations an art collector/fire fighter
mentioned in passing - not to forget helitac crews in future paintings.  I
remembered hearing tales of helicopters reaching their targets and dropping fish
as well as water on the fire. I instantly knew this curious aspect of using such
aircraft would be part of my final composition. So began the daunting task of
collecting all the references I needed to complete the painting the way I saw it in
my mind’s eye.

The cliffs in the painting make up the eastern shore of King Fisher Island on the
Flaming Gorge Reservoir in Utah.  The island’s western slopes have experienced
a variety of fires throughout the years.  Most recently, attempts at prescribed
burns have been done to help improve the habitat for the area’s bighorn sheep
population.
