“I am the Day" Oil Painting - 18" x 24"

Painted/named from a poem by Clare Harner.

This is a dawn scene that represents the loss of a loved one and the sentiment that they wouldn't want you to grieve to the point of depression after their passing. I hoped that the early dawn cutting through the previous stain of the night could be a reminder to the viewer that daylight is always ready to take over, when you're ready to experience joy again.

I chose to use fuchsia paint as an underpainting, and let it show through in many areas. Fuchsia is the color of the "acceptance" stage of grief.

Oil on deep canvas. 18" x 24" unframed with painted sides. Can be hung as-is.

All originals and prints come with the poem they’re named/painted from, in case you’d like to frame and hang it next to the art.
