The Temple & The Shrine: Atmospherics in Blender

 Recently, I've been teaching an Intro to Blender (3D software suite), which has been helping me to integrate the software into my art practice (as well as helping the students learn the software, of course). Last night I was experimenting with volumetric lighting (light through fog, etc.) & found ways to make the rendered images more atmospheric. This was a missing part for me, & seems to be helping to create the worlds I want to make.

Ecce Homo 1993

 I just did an Internet search & found that this piece, which had been in a private collection, sold at auction recently (November 2020). I hadn't realized that the owner had passed away. I pulled the image from the auction web page...it's a better photo than I had before.

From the listing: "depicting figures reaching out of a torso with the limbs of other figures around and reaching towards it, all set before a cloudy, rocky landscape; signed and dated 1993 lower right."
