Benediction

A young woman tilts her face toward the viewer from above, eyes half-closed beneath smudged shadow, lips parted in deep red that fades to coral. Dark, loosely brushed waves fall around her. At the bottom of the frame, a small cross rests at the base of her throat, so quiet it’s easy to miss and hard to forget once you’ve seen it.

The face is modeled softly, then interrupted by a few thick, creamy knife strokes on the forehead, cheekbone, and chin that rise off the surface and catch real light. Behind her, the ground is a warm, scrubbed tan with ochre passages and a hot patch of vermilion in the lower corner.

It’s an intimate, slightly irreverent portrait about stillness, devotion, and the moment between a prayer and its answer.
