Truly Blessed (22.5"W x 29.5"H Acrylic on Bhutan Paper)
This is a portrait of my mother from memory doing the Friday night Sabbath candles. She looks like a cross between her and me. I remember the Friday night blessing as a time of quiet and peacefulness and beauty the lights from the candles flickering and sometimes throwing off rainbows. When she would finish she would bless each of us in the family. It was very beautiful. The Eucalyptus leaves represent my childhood in Australia.
