The light prevails

Profile Information

How would you categorize your painting style?: Messy ;)

Which medium do you prefer? eg. oils, acrylics, etc.: oils

Are you a full time artist?: Part Time

Who are your favourite 2 artists?: Wendy Artin and George Inness

Do you have any goals for your painting?: Light is a very mysterious thing to me. Light has three qualities that together affect me very deeply. Those qualities are Source...Intensity...Effect. Although these are physical properties, they also have spiritual properties that are related, which are, Mystery...Revelation...Illumination.
My personal goal for painting or drawing is to be able to articulate a prayer with a paintbrush that captures both the physical and spiritual qualities of light.
That prayer is this...The light came...The darkness fled...The light prevailed.

The next layer for those will be to concentrate the light in the center and create tonal differences then it's on to the dead layer, color layer and detal layer. We'll see how that goes.
Let me know what you think...
