"Soul Space"

I created this 36x24" painting over a period of a few days. here's what i had in mind when i painted this one: there is a little old country church with a grave yard that is burning in a fire. the woods are on fire all around. the fire has been burning for a while and everything is charred and in embers. you can see the faint image of a cross high above the church. the soul space is to the right where all the souls await in the heavens. in contrast to the burning fire, the soul space is light, airy and peaceful. the feeling of floating around in a guarded, peaceful realm of light. no chaos. separated from the hell below. i wanted this painting to be more about contrast, color and texture for the expression of the idea. i used an acrylic wash for the back painting, then layers of acrylic paint. i finished using oil pastels to bring out some color and texture. i was inspired by a story about a chaurch perishing in a fire and the sadness i felt when i thought about the history within the little church.
