Daily Rhythms

Framed 13.5 x 10.5″

Acrylic

“The twilight colors of this painting come from my ponderings on the daily rhythms of sleeping and waking, of evening and morning prayer. I was reading Eugene Peterson’s ‘Answering God’, and in his chapter ‘Rhythm’ he writes, ‘Daily we give up consciousness… Even though it is decreed in our bodies that we return to sleep, it is not easy. We want to stay in control…. Evening prayer is a deliberate act of spirit that cultivates willingly what our bodies force on us finally.’”
