Incandescent Darkness

24 Hours | oil on panel | 36” x 36” | Sold

The yin and yang of light and dark poignantly bookends our lives at this time of year.

Cool winter light of short days fades into velvety night skies which sparkle with stars and Christmas lights. Quiet moments of witnessing darkness moving into dawn and light disappearing into dusk always blankets me with a sense of rightness in the world.
Even when the headlines tell another truth.

Experiencing incandescent darkness makes the last days of December magical.
Wherever you are, I hope you feel this kind of wonder as well.

Take a few moments in the next couple of days to read Finding Light in Winter, an essay that beautifully captures the essence of finding light in winter both within and around us.
I found the sentiments expressed to be deeply resonant.

Whatever is happening in the world, whatever is happening in our personal lives,
we can find light. - Mary Pipher
