Through the Valley -final version

Comments

This was part of a Lent series for my church on the theme of 'Journey'; I've added mist to the painting to add a sense of journeying into the unknown, reflecting how many of us feel in these uncertain times; love, God bless and keep safe, Andy

The addition of the mist really makes your painting special Andrew. Love the mystery and power it evokes. Great work. God bless Andrew.
