Carrie’s Painting of the Week, 04/04/10
Himalayan
By Carrie Jacobson
Easter Sunday and I am renewed, revived, reawakened.
Saturday brought a church service, a baptism in the midst of an Easter celebration. For me, unaccustomed, the event shines, stands alone in a raft of Sundays, a raft of churchless Easters.
The day has never passed without my recognizing it. Never passed without my sense of rebirth, or a quickening of the breath of faith. But this Easter dawned on the heels of celebration, oflight shining deep into the darkness, of voices raised together in joyous song.
I made this painting earlier in the day, in the sunshine on the sidewalk outside of Center Framing & Art in West Hartford, Conn. The gallery represents me, and this month, the owner has given me the front window! If you’re interested in the painting, shoot me an email.
From left, in front of the gallery window stocked full of my stuff, is my niece Larkin, brother Rand, me, and friends Lizzie and Al.
