A little touch of a heavenly light"
--"Breath of Life" - Florence and the Machine

For CHoW #309 where we were to paint Life as a character. After submitting all my portfolios, I just wanted to paint something and not care about what are colleges looking for and how can I impress them. This was just for me

Inspired by Nike of Samothrace, perhaps my favorite sculpture in all of art history.

"The triumph, and the vanity,
The rapture of the strife-
The earthquake voice of Victory,
To thee the breath of life"
- Lord Byron
