It is Well

Acrylic on canvas (unframed) Price includes USPS First Class shipping (free local delivery available)

A piece that I worked on for over a decade, it has undergone a few transformations but the overall mood and colors stayed the same.

Initially inspired by a photo I took at the Kabuki hotel in San Francisco, it became more about the light and the deep feeling of peace I wanted to convey in the painting.  I went through many changes in life throughout the years that I worked on this piece, and when it came time to give it a name, I immediately thought of the hymn “It is Well” (also known as “When Peace Like a River”)– particularly the first verse:

“When Peace like a river, attendeth my way,

When sorrows like sea billows roll

Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say

It is well, it is well, with my soul”

(Horatio Spafford)
