For 2000 years the Creator’s language lay dormant; for all intents and purposes – a Dead Language, a by-word associated with the forlorn plight of a People without an identity. Miraculously, following the pattern of the death, burial and resurrection of the Messiah, this “Living Word” rises, made to live again, on the 3rd day, our day, to become the standard to which the People of the Book must return in order to seek out and identify their Deliverer! The eternal stage has been set as the conflict of the ages rises to a crescendo, culminating in the greatest assault against The Sovereign King and those in Covenant with Him, that the world has ever seen. It is by no means an accident that an awakening is occurring. The return to the Ancient Paths and an even more Ancient Tongue leading a People to their destiny – a confrontation with the Anti-Messiah! The Apocalyptic weapons of this supernatural being, coupled with the intentional, mistranslated, prophetic declarations of a broken, annihilated, People, are about to be revisited as history records the restoration of this Ancient Pure language, its latent power in the hands of a Faithful Remnant, tipping the balance of Power! You are about to be introduced to the single, most powerful force in Creation – The Rainbow Language! ARISE O’ YAH AND LET YOUR ENEMIES BE SCATTERED! Psalms 68:1

Because nature is so expansive and complex, so varied in its range of light, landscape painters often have to look further and more deeply to find form and structure, value patterns, and an organized arrangement of shapes. In Landscape Painting, Mitchell Albala shares his concepts and practices for translating nature's grandeur, complexity, and color dynamics into convincing representations of space and light. Concise, practical, and inspirational, Landscape Painting focuses on the greatest challenges for the landscape artist, such as: • Simplification and Massing: Learn to reduce nature's complexity by looking beneath the surface of a subject to discover the form's basic masses and shapes.• Color and Light: Explore color theory as it specifically applies to the landscape, and learn the various strategies painters use to capture the illusion of natural light.• Selection and Composition: Learn to select wisely from nature's vast panorama. Albala shows you the essential cues to look for and how to find the most promising subject from a world of possibilities. The lessons in Landscape Painting—based on observation rather than imitation and applicable to both plein air and studio practice—are accompanied by painting examples, demonstrations, photographs, and diagrams. Illustrations draw from the work of more than 40 contemporary artists and such masters of landscape painting as John Constable, Sanford Gifford, and Claude Monet. Based on Albala's 25 years of experience and the proven methods taught at his successful plein air workshops, this in-depth guide to all aspects of landscape painting is a must-have for anyone getting started in the genre, as well as more experienced practitioners who want to hone their skills or learn new perspectives.
