BRINGING IN SHABBAT
Size Framed: 915 x 610mm
Medium: Oil on canvas
In this artwork, the artist depicts the feeling of love and spirituality washed over softly by the meaningful handwritten prayer, and the feeling of warmth in the home by the light of the Shabbos candles. The Jewish tradition of lighting of candles conveys the special moment the artist shares with her daughters each week. The artist used thick oils on the background as a contrast of modern elements of today and soft brush strokes for the lush green leaves, the shining candle sticks and glowing candles.
