This is a pretty large painting. If you've looked at the video on my page, that's this one being painted.

"Our failing glow" addresses judging others in a Christian walk. I have a friend that is a virgin and wishes to remain one until she gets married. I think that's admirable, but she wields it around often in a bragful manner... as if she is better than this person or that. The painting shows someone holding up that thing they've got power over. Virginity, a tolerance to alcohol, not smoking, whatever the case might be, but the truth of the matter is that we are all still sinful and the glow of our sins are so apparent to God. He looks at us... glowing... and we pitifully stand there with our ball of 'achievement.' Realizing we turn in shame as God shows us (second canvas on right) the powers of what he hold back from us.

 Here's a photo with me next to the painting to give you some size appreciation.
