It’s a new day’ is a series of 4 dawn paintings painted as a prayer over the UK.
In the early 2020's the four paintings were exhibited in 3 different Cathedrals, Chester, Worcester and Peterborough.
The English scene is inspired by a Cambridgeshire meadow scene. The Scottish scene was captured from a photo from the Isle of Lewis. The Welsh scene was captured from a photo from Conway, North Wales. The Northern Irish scene is a wide beech scene with the Mussenden Temple perched on the clifftop.
They’re symbols of hope, that a new day is coming. In these dark and desperate times where mourning and grieving are coming place, the promise is that despite all the odds, joy comes in the morning.
Prints are also available as a reminder of the new day that will come. One where the Dayspring brings light to the darkness.
Each painting has an overemphasis of light, a bursting out of the canvas the hope for a new day.
My prayer is that these simple pictures bring hope for tomorrow.
