SEPARATION
בס"ד
19 Tevet
One of my very most favourite of days. But my most fave when it falls on the Winter Solstice.
Around that time I sold this:
"Outside Breyshit" copyright A. Barclay; watercolour & ink on 300lb cold pressed Arches 100% cotton acid-free archival paper
The first word in the Torah has six letters. I painted a scene of each of the six days of Creation in behind each of the letters. On each successive day G@d made further differentiations & boundaries, separating holy out of holy out of holy.
Tehilim/Psalm 118:24: "This is the day that Yah has made, we will rejoice & be glad in it."

beautiful!
That's gorgeous.
We love it so much, Aviel! It's matted on dark blue, almost purple -- the same colour as the darkest Night in the ב and the ש.
I think I mentioned in my email that I was going to hang it above my mantle, but it was too high and I couldn't see all the details. So we moved a few other things around and now it hangs at eye־level in the center of our house, between the kitchen and the family room, and every day I see something new in it.
֬We've had so many comments and compliments on it! It was the best Christmas present my Beloved could have given me.
Thank you, again. :)
You are so talented, Aviel! And blessed to do such beautiful work in G-d's name...

Thank you all so much for your sweet compliments. Thank G@d, Torah is hugely inspirational, so it's easy to open up & let the piece paint itself.
Talmida, I'm really pleased that you & your Beloved are so enjoying it :)
What you've done with it sounds fab.
