New Every Morning
Dawn is a time of quiet meditation, contemplating the day ahead, and giving thanks for blessings received. The soft, subtle colors of the sky and the bright promise of the rising sun make is my favorite time of the day.
The title comes from Lamentations 3
Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is Your faithfulness.
This was painted in oil on linen panel and done in a somewhat impressionistic style with more attention to light and color than detail. I used a combination of layering and scumbling techniques to create the sky and cloud effects.
