Description

This piece is an ode to a dear friend’s father who passed away far too early. This poem came to mind as I sat with the finished piece.

A poem for Jeff 

Handshake, steady gaze, A helping hand

Death, grief unimaginable

To lose such a man

Somehow hope grows and we move on

But shadows forever stay

The light reflected in each of our eyes

To go another day

 

 

Original 24×30″ acrylic painting by Sarah Lewke. Painted on gallery wrapped canvas with edges painted black, so no framing is needed.

The Wild Within Series

The Wild Within series is a deeply spiritual reflection on faith, feminine power, surrender and freedom. These vibrant, expressive paintings are inspired by florals and a visual manifestation of some of the personal changes I experienced during pregnancy. As a pregnant woman, I am not creating new life, I am simply a conduit for God to create life through my body. I feel the same about these paintings. They seemed to arrive from the heavens as I entered a new process of working- being wholly present in the studio, tuning in, listening closely to the spirit within for colour choices, brushstrokes and movement.
