Bring back the peace…
“A silent prayer” – I made this painting at a time when we were all moving out of the pandemic and embracing our lives and what was left of it for many. Some of us emerged unscathed but many are scarred by the sudden devastation the pandemic had brought us. This painting was a silent prayer to bring back some of the peace many of us had lost.
The colour blue for a reason..
For calmness and serenity
Blue signifies peace and tranquility. I debated between using many different colors and finally settled with blue. I chose to make this painting in one color and use different shades of blue and black to get the intensity and depth to the painting.
This piece of art is created using oil paints on canvas. The original painting dimensions are 81 cm x 101 cm or 31.8 in x 39.7 in
Finishing Touches
This painting took me almost 2 months to complete. It’s progress was like a journal which reflected how I was feeling each day after reading the news and talking to my friends. My faithful painting companion Mollie was with me every time I picked up the brush. So thankful for her! 🙂
