'Strike while the iron is hot' is a very old proverb, and like the phrase 'irons in the fire' comes directly from blacksmithing.
It means when you have an opportunity to do something, do it before you lose your chance.
Plein air painters and blacksmiths both need quick reflexes.

I grabbed the opportunity and caught a dramatic moment in a small canvas.
I don't know whether the small white hot bit of metal is supposed to be on the floor and is part of the process, or whether it was a bit of accidental run off. We're all wearing safety boots anyway, and it looks spectacular.
