Artist's Comments
(Another old pic, done in oil pastels and Conte crayons.) The End of the World will be both a beautiful and terrifying thing..."I watched as the angel opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place." (Rev. 6:12-14) The decending, shining Dove is symbolic of the Second Coming--of hope and salvation amidst the storm, the destruction and chaos of the Apocalypse.
Edit:
bought the original from me, so I touched it up (if you can call completely recoloring it and adding lots of new details "touching-up"), then took a better photo of it and reuploaded.

This is a fantastic rendition of the Apocalypse, as well. I love the colors that you used and the way it's composed. Very awesome!
