Prayer by the Lake is a quiet, reflective mixed-media painting inspired by the book of the same title by Saint Nikolai Velimirovich. Created with oil and layered pigments, including gold, the work explores stillness, light, and inner prayer. The subtle use of gold suggests a gentle spiritual presence, echoing the calm and contemplative mood of a lake. The painting invites the viewer to pause, reflect, and experience a moment of silence and devotion.
