Now THAT'S rich and warm. Wow!

Ever since I saw these last night I've been thinking about what would characterize an image like this for me.
What I came up with was something dark and mysterious with the appropriate books etc in the background but some sort of light piercing through to illuminate something.

oil paint on a layer with opacity to taste
Dust is done with render>cloud on a lower layer.

Usually not a fan of painting type images, but wow, love that one. Thanks!

Good - and thanks for saying so.
