“There flashed upward a glow and a glare” is the caption for an illustration by Harry Clarke for the 1933 edition of Edgar Allan Poe's "Tales of Mystery and Imagination.” Although the original is in black and white the caption led me to create a flaming red fiery glow with flames shooting from a blue-black ground… painted with gesso and acrylics on a large 150 x 100 cm sheet of Fabriano paper which, being large, moderately heavy with paint and slightly wavy, should be (dry) mounted on a board as part of the framing.
