This oil painting is entitled "The Wilderness". I took about 4 months to complete it on 21st Dec. 2007.
Used combination techniques:
glued sand and brush for the lower land; the upper land and 'concave' mountain range is done by knife; the distant mountain range and sky are done by brush.
This is quite a challenging piece to me, in the sense that I need to express the dryness of the land in the wilderness and yet the life of the small oasis that provided streams of water to create little brooks which run into the parched soil. And, the sheep were wandering in the wilderness in search of water, and they finally found an oasis!
This reminds me at one point of my life, I too went through a journey of wilderness in search of the oasis of living water to quench my thirst, and when I found it, I'm so blessed (happy)!
May you be blessed too!!
