Take Me Deeper 2016 - DNA - Week 27, July 1st

His Kingdom Come - Take Me Deeper 2016 - DNA - Week 27 - July 1st - I Am A Heavenly Citizen

Wow this took some hours! It has around 110 layers! It started of so dark and drab, lol, and ended up full of light! Another occasion when I am amazed at what appears on the screen in front of me!
I decided not to digitally paint this piece - the first one left unpainted this year - but I really didn't want to change a thing!
TFL!

Take Me Deeper - DNA - 5th February 2016 - I Am Made in the Image of God

 I picked out the main things I wanted to show...glorifying God, honouring our Creator. I also wanted to show "His shadow - cast over us - giving the image, the resemblance of God the Father!" At first this seemed a bit impossible to portray! 

Dark shadows just didn't work or feel right, so I played with light. It seemed to me that God's 'shadow' would be full of bright light rather than darkness; light which defines our image within the darkness. I also used the cross as another way to portray overshadowing and also to represent the price paid for us.

I bumped up the contrast using levels to really enhance the brightness and light of the piece, which spills over onto the girl, defining her, showing the Father's image to the world. She, in turn, gives honour and glory to God.

TFL!
