SHOW OF LIGHTS


SHOOTING RAYS
4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel
8" square archival white matte, glass + gold leaf frame


Darkened clouds filled the vast sky.

The daylight was escaping quickly. 

Yet as the sun descended, the beams of bright light burst forth.

And illuminated the night.

    amazing color, wonderful strokes... pastels were something that I never quite got the feel for, so I am always even more impressed by those that do!

    As a painter who strives for emotion around the human face mostly, this has that "IT" factor...Turner-esque. But modern. Bravo.
