Description
A solitary great blue heron lifts its gaze toward the light. Textured layers of paint and shimmering gold leaf accents suggest the glow of morning breaking across the marsh—a moment when night yields to day and hope rises with the sun.
The title of this piece comes from the Canticle of Zechariah, an ancient prayer that speaks of light breaking into darkness, “guiding our feet into the way of peace”. In this painting, that promise is echoed in the heron’s posture—patient, resilient, and awaiting the resurrection that is each new day.
“The Dawn from on High Will Break Upon Us” invites you to pause in that sacred in-between space, where shadow meets light, and to rest in the hope of new beginnings.
