Available for purchase at my etsy shop:TheLUUvre.etsy.com
"Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations."
What to say about this... I think I'm pretty happy with it... I'm a little sad that you can't really see all the different colors I put in. Similar to the first one, there are lots of subtle shift that really just don't come across very well... *sighs*
This one took the longest so far... does it seem that way? It's hard for me to tell. XD
Uhm.... the composition isn't exactly what I pictured, but I like it better than my initial sketches and the basic idea is still very much the same.
I think that acceptance and spiritual growth come across very nicely here... the tree symbolizing spiritual growth, the extra hands symbolizing acceptance and encouragement... and then there's that light again. XD
Ahahahhahaaha, why is my signature so ugly? I dunno how I got it so small and neat and tidy on the first one, but that seems to be impossible for me now. XD

Even if the colors didn't come out exactly as you wanted, I love how warm the atmosphere is. It radiates comfort the way a good fire does. Love it. <3

It's that negative space thing, again! I loooove how the colors just pool at the edges. X3
Pretty much everything you said in the description shines though in this image. (Except the part about having an ugly signature. I must disagree with you on that one, heh.)

LOL Thank you so much! 8D The thing I love about watercolor is that I learn something new about how to use it, every time I... use it. XD
I'm always glad to hear that the message comes across the way I wanted. :3
And of course I love getting such flattering compliments from an artist as wonderful as you! *w*

Yes, I am definitely favoriting all of these. They're just wonderfully symbolic.

Yeah, not sure why, but the second doesn't fit very well... OH WELL Wutev. At least is was good practice painting hands. XD
