“Morning Prayer”
Pastel on Ampersand Panel

The solitude of evening often gives time for reflection and communing with our Creator. This is the moment in time I sought to capture; a time of contemplation and prayer; a time of thanksgiving, of gratitude for the wonder of the blessings provided.
The light on the model’s face, Shasta Chez’, reflects the glory of God’s essence as He observes and listens to her prayer. The companion piece, “Evening Prayer” is also available.
