Receptivity - Sacred Chalice

Spirited Life Paintings By Dawn Richerson

The question was no longer was there hope or could they trust in life. The question was not whether there was love for one individual or group or the other. The question was only this: could they, one by one and as a whole, become the sacred chalice that they were and receive in full the gift of grace. For a time, it would feel awkward, as if one were being stretched to new proportions. Yet, they were never alone. Always the champions of their cause celebrated their progress and raised a toast to the emergence of a flourishing humanity. This watercolor painting is from the Curvature and Creation series, which explores reflections on presence and potentiality in paint. You have an opportunity to meet change, and to be met by it, with grace and wonder along the curvature of creation. Connect to your essential story of life as you consider present potential and all that is being created and recreated, in our world and within you. Receptivity: Sacred Chalice is a painting from Virginia artist Dawn Richerson.
