What others have said...

Awesome work SLCOX!!! you seem to be an overnight master of Yupo.

Beautiful effects on the rocks with texture and colors!

This is really beautiful!

What a beautiful piece. I too am a fan of the old hymns. There is so much poetry and meaning and history behind them that you don't often see in today’s contemporary songs (though I'm still a fan of those too). I love the way you've painted the light of God and how he shields those who seek him. Shields us sometimes when we don't even deserve it! His love is amazing and I thank you for sharing these. Please post more!!!

Wow- it is a stunner of a painting. I am not sure how well hidden the soul would be with all that blinding light, but it is super beautiful and gets the point across. Or perhaps the blinding light is God hiding the soul, which we can't see. Either way pretty amazing and beautiful.
