Snow and scarlet

I brought my Graphire tablet up to campus today and decided to have another go at digital painting. This time I used ArtRage 2 instead of Photoshop. Let me just say that being able to mix colors is really, really nice. :) I’m now seriously considering buying either ArtRage or Painter.

Anyway, here’s my first painting, the obligatory sunset:

Sunset

I’m not sure why I always paint sunsets when I’m messing around with a new program. Looking over my shoulder, my co-worker said, “You should paint a forest.” And so I did:

Out of the Forest

The parts that need work are (ahem) rather obvious, but I really like the sky. And finally, here is “Snow and Scarlet,” an artistic rendition of Isaiah 1:18:

Snow and Scarlet

Here’s the scripture itself:

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

And yes, it does have something to do with yesterday’s post. :)
