Color in the Solar System. The planets are individual worlds which reveal signs of their histories on their surfaces and in their rocks and ices. Most of the Solar System is fairly narrow in color range with yellow-brown grays of varying brightness and saturation predominating. Often I have had occasion to create images of other worlds, first in paint then digitally.
Birth is the beginning of life; to be born again, is to begin to live anew, as those who have lived much amiss, or to little purpose. We must have a new nature, new principles, new affections, new aims. By our first birth we were corrupt, shapen in sin; therefore we must be made new creatures.
During my second pregnancy, I realized why a second (and every subsequent) child has fewer pictures and accolades and less attention. Even though it took me a year to conceive the second time, when I finally did get pregnant, I was so consumed with the kid I already had that I couldn't focus on my second pregnancy. Every milestone, feeling or picture that I celebrated the first time kind of got ignored the second time around. Of course I love my second child as much as my older one, but pretty much everything about my second pregnancy was, in a way, less than my first.
