Artist's Comments

~…Hidden deep in the mountains the temple is known only to a select few whose wisdom is as old as time itself. Their wisdom has been passed on through the ages and only once every fifty years is a new Elder chosen.
Built by the Ancients the temple is watched over by the Sun Lion Gods perched high on the Towers of Rah. On the Winter Solstice of every year the Elders travel on their pilgrimage to gather at the temple to pay homage to their ancestors and the gods of the Solstice.

As the first of the Elders enters the sacred valley he is welcomed by the Gods themselves....here at the Temple of the Solstice…~



Since tonight (Sunday 21st June) is our Winter Solstice and shortest day of the year, I thought it would be nice to dedicate this piece to the Winter Solstice.

Wonderful.Great legend brought to magical life as always with beauty and vision.Again, and rightfully so,I'd have to say the setting is truly the star of this piece.Strong and majestic composition, amazing details and realism, beautiful palette and stunning lighting bring us again into a fantasy realm made believable by your gifts as an artist and storyteller.A truly stunning and masterful work of fantasy :clap: :heart:

It never ceases to amaze me that you achieve such realism in your works. The textures in the rocks and the stone of the temple are marvellous, as are the clouds. Those "breaking rays of light" behind it all give the work a real feeling of enlightenment - reaching towards the light of knowledge, if you take my meaning.

My compliments indeed, milady! :winner:

Lol....i have a wonderful filter that I use that i would be lost without. Its called Mr Contrast by Flaming Pear. It allows me to turn new to old and i can honestly say that there wouldnt be one piece in my gallery where I havent used it.
I did however work long and hard on this piece and overall Im pleased as punch with the results.
Thanks ever so much for the lovely comment Warren....Im glad you like this piece :)
