Latin for "From [the] Light this illustration is the first in a triptych series of paintings depicting the Battle of Light and Shadow and shows a female angel wielding a partizan entwined with dark blue ribbons with a flight of white doves flying above her. She is dressed in pale blue and has blonde hair. The background is a stain glass window depicting the sun rising up over green hills with a blue sky and white clouds. The next painting in the triptych series is called IN UMBRAM.
Notes: This is my first draft of this painting and I am currently reworking the composition, as I was unhappy with it once it was done. Sometimes it sucks to be a perfectionist. >.<
Medium: watercolor, gouche & pastels on Crescent board Dated: Re-paint In Progress Original size: 20x26 Reference: personal stock photos
