Pathways in Darkness. This painting shows the light in dark journeys. If we look we can always find the light of Gods love when we feel lost and alone. I felt connected when I read about this contest. I prayed for guidance to paint something to show the invisible armor that carries us out of personal struggles into the love light the Holy Trinity. This painting fits with a few more that I have painted while dealing with sorrows in my personel life. I hope to share the beauty of life even in dark places.
Walking with the armor of God for the traveler in this painting is a woven shaw. After reading Ephesians 6:10-20 I prayed for something to paint as I painted this came out of my mind.
