New Chapter by FadingGlory

The thought of the final Weekly Challenge coming to an end makes me feel like I've reached the end of a beloved chapter. As I listen to the music that inspired years of painting and improvement, bittersweet nostalgia flows over me. A new chapter is coming; where I will go, who knows. But I know that the way is good.

This is my entry for the final contest, #wc350. The weekly challenges have caused me to step out of my comfort zone and explore a whole new world of magic. Many thanks to the Colors Team for the amazing opportunity to expand as an artist.

Enjoy. :)

A new light, horizon, the endless and vastness of life is so intriguing. We reach this new light in hopes to understand and grasp the truth, though it all ways seems to flow further away, presenting itself in new forms and challenges. All things come to and end, or are the endless like a horizon? When something stops a new one is brought forth, in an infinite cycle. In that sense, perhaps when we think we find a new horizon, that it is actually the same one as before, it just changes so much that it appears anew, as one flies across these endless skies called life.

ok hm wth, I'm not Socrates what am I doing, hmmmmmm
uh uhhhhhhh

Yup hours later and I’m still very much in awe over this masterpiece. It’s just so gorgeous. If you don’t win this thing I’m going to be flabbergasted.

I really want to enter in this, and I have a great idea for an entry, but my inability to improve with my style at a rapid pace and lack of knowledge on how to execute the painting prevent me from doing it.

This is absolutely gorgeous! I've always been a sucker for sunset/sunrise pictures. I love how you can see wisps of the clouds coming off the dragon's wings, too!

So this is the final weekly challenge for awhile? I hope it comes back someday. There was only one weekly challenge I took part in, but I always entertained the idea of doing another challenge piece. It was great seeing submissions for the challenges, too.

Good luck in the challenge! This piece is a strong contender in my opinion.
