A Sunburnt Country
© C J Lewis. Digital painting inspired from a photograph I took of the landscape from a moving train for the subject matter. I created this work in PhotoPlus 6 for air-brushing, smudging, colouring, brightness/contrast and sizing. I use the mouse with the smudge tool to move the colours around and into the shapes desired as I don’t have a Wacom tablet.

My heart melts … you have captured a sad moment and turned it to tenderness with a heart for those you are suffering. May they all be blessed.
C J Lewis replied
My eyes won’t stop crying Judi … I have been touched very deeply by the devastation that has taken place over here … the loss of lives including our native animals and pets … so very sad. I keep praying to God to bring more rain to those affected areas and will keep doing so until every last flame has been extinguished.
Thank you for your lovely comments on this … I appreciate it :)

i love the feeling of ascension i get from this.. as if the land is rising in spirit to meet the sky…......b
C J Lewis replied
Oh Butch … you have such wonderful insight … when I finished this I brought it up large on my computer and stood back to look at it … then I saw it had the ascension within it … like spirits going on to further afield … new lifes. Thank you for seeing that in this too … bless you, love, peace & light my friend :)xx
