(This is an oil-pastel on paper (20″x30″) that now resides in Australia, called “Let There Be Day“.)
There have been a few moments that I can look back to as cataclysmic events that changed the quality and direction of my life. They are sometimes instantaneous and traumatic. Like a profound crisis. Like the sun rising over the horizon in an enormous blast of heat and light. But sometimes it is gradual… like the rising sun on a misty morning that eventually melts away the fog to expose its warming rays.
The past few months have been that for me. It has been profound. And it’s not over. It’s still dawn. But I feel the warmth of the day coming. Surely.
You can purchase my art from my online art gallery.
My name is David Hayward, and I am the nakedpastor. I am a graffiti artist on the walls of religion.
David, fantastic piece.
oh David finally got back to your blog and saw my beautiful painting, my heart skipped cause I just love it. Yes it now lives here in Queensland, Australia. I have only bought 3 paintings in my life, 2 are by Aboriginal artists and yours.They all speak to me. Thanks David for creating something that makes me so happy.
I also love your words about this work, that is exactly how I feel about it. Beautiful, Thanks again.
