Digital Art - Digital Painting/photographic Art
Description
The first of several manually created digital paintings - a set called "Simpler Times." In an age of uncertainty, many people seek the security and certitude of very traditional religious beliefs. When I was much younger, I used to envy people who had such strong, basic faith. I no longer feel that way - life has a way of raising more and more challenging questions for which the answers are not so simple. But I wanted to pay tribute to the foundation those simpler times contributed - to my character and many others.
