Ascension

Now, my new gigantic painting! This gigantic painting is very uplifting and inspiring.

Ascension

40″ x 50″, Oil on Canvas

This painting shows a glowing light rising from the horizon, behind the silhouettes of trees.

The trees point upwards into the sky like a row of living arrows.

The glowing light rises up into billowing clouds in the shape of wings spread in flight.

Deep crimson and orange colors fill the sky behind the clouds. As you look higher into the heavens, the sky becomes dark and inky.

The highlight of the sky is a distant galaxy glowing bright.

Spinning away from this galaxy are clusters of young stars strewn across space like jewels.

The flock of birds flying up into the center of the painting is symbolic of the whole feeling I wanted to capture: the joyous, boundless feeling of ascension. Rising from Earth (or whatever strange planet this may be) into the heavens.
