"Breath of Prayer" (unavailable)




















(in the permanent collection of dee day)

Flowers seem to say what words cannot. Prayer and flowers together can comfort and bring joy to the deepest parts of the human soul. I pray you will have these experiences today.

Gradation is that design principle that brings softness into a piece. It's comparable to the crescendo and decrescendo in music. It's defined as a stage of transition. In art it is the gradual passing from one tone or shade to another. There is a lot of gradation in this piece which creates a cozy effect visually. When you are trying to create a quiet and contemplative piece, gradation must be a consideration.

Please visit my ebay listing to bid on original art from Dee Day Art Journal Painting a Day.
