Artist's Comments

In Hinduism, it is said that there are four ways of realizing contact with God. These are called the four yogas. One is bhakti yoga, or knowing God through love. This is illustrated by the girl praying. The second is karma yoga, knowing God through good works. The third is raja yoga, in whch the yogi meditates to know God. The fourth, jnana yoga, is to have inherent knowledge of God, but I didn't know how to illustrate that one, and I understand this is the rarest kind. The character is sorta the same one from Time to Reflect, but a little different.

This is a newer version of the piece with subtler colors and some more detail.

i think this expresses these consepts very well. I like your intesting use of frame (once again, very original thinking!) I can't find anything to critue you one at all! oh well, I never like crituquing much anyways :D

You know me, I can't go without making comment.

I'd like to see some detail in the branches of the tree, maybe draw
some bark in or something at the top branch.

I'd like to see some highlights on the middle face. I like the idea
of light coming through the leaves onto her face... I would push
it just a bit further.

You could also maybe strengthen the shadows on the figures and
lighten the center of the flame and put a little bit more dramatic
backlight on the meditating figure.

Going along nicely. Can't wait to show you all the crapola I've been
working on.
