I am struggling (again) to get a photo that shows this painting at it's best, because it looks deep and quiet and lovely photographed inside, but the details show better in the sun. I am starting out with a photo from indoors since it is inspired by my woods, where it is deep, quiet, and lovely.

12" x 12"
Painted with artist quality heavy-body acrylic paint on 1.5” deep gallery wrapped canvas
Edges painted black
I have told you many times about the story about our woods, and how I am waiting for some kind of redemption for the destruction there, though I cannot imagine what that redemption will look like. A week and a half ago when I walked there in the morning for inspiration and exercise, there was a small area of light showing through under some of the trees. It was a golden green color, and I thought it was hopeful, not so much in a material sense as in an emotional and spiritual sense. Can you see the woods, the bright area, the sun peeking through the leaves in this painting?
The title I have chosen for it is from an older worship song, In the Secret, by Andy Park. We used to lead a worship team in the church we attended, and this song was in our rotation of music.
In the stillness You are there.
In the secret, in the quiet hour I wait,
Only for You,'cause I want to know You more;
I want to know You,
I want to hear Your voice
I want to know You more.
I want to touch You,
I want to see Your face
I want to know You more.
In the last few days, I have felt the need for that quiet, secret place where I can focus on my Savior and the bright hope He brings me. The bright spot in the woods seems like a promise, and I am grateful for it!
Psalm 91:1-2 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,
My God, in whom I trust!”
