TRIUMPH OF SPIRIT IN LOVE, NATURE & ART

“The Sun Gaze of My Love Ne’er Sets”

(Photo by ESW, “The View”)

“I take a sacred vow: Never shall the sun gaze of my love sink below the horizon of my thought of Thee. Never will I lower the vision of my lifted eyes to place it on aught but Thee.

Never will I do anything that reminds me not of Thee. Actions springing from ignorance lead to nightmares. May I weave only sweet dreams of noble achievements, for they are Thy dreams.” ~ Paramahansa Yogananda

from “Whispers from Eternity” by Paramahansa Yogananda, p. 115

  2. There is such stillness and reverence here, Ellen. Your painting seems to hold both distance and longing, and Yogananda’s words deepen that sense of devotion. Very beautiful together.

  3. I love how the soft layered colors in your painting create a beautiful depth, especially at the horizon. Lovely! 🙂

    • Thank you so much, Nancy! Actually though it is an abstracted photograph. God created the scene that I was just blessed enough to see and make an abstract photograph of. Appreciate your words, Nancy.

  4. The colors in this abstracted land, skyscape, create an enlivening and calming effect, all in one viewing of it…don’t know how you do it Ellen! 🧡💛🩷🩵
