A Beacon of Light
I like digital art for the very fact that it allows me freedom to do things that I know I won't be able to accomplish using traditional medium. For example, I can work on a digital composition, from back to front and vice versa whereas in traditional method, I have to do the background first before putting the finer foreground details. Normally, in oil painting I paint light against dark but here, I can do dark against light just as well. Also I don't have to wait for the paint to dry. I can use the quick dry function or let it remain wet while I create another layer to paint on.
This is another painting to represent the traditional symbol of hope. You have probably heard of the phrase "a beacon of light on a stormy sea" or "a beacon to light my path". This beacon of light over troubled waters is what life is all about. Yes, this is a troubled world. Yes, life must still be lived to the hilt but then we don't always get postcardlike sceneries that we always hope for. This is God's answer to our prayers when all seem hopeless. God's answer will come when you least expect it.
