Is Anyone Home

There are moments in grief when the house feels still…
when the light comes through the window exactly the same,
but everything inside feels changed.
“Is Anyone Home” lives in that sacred pause.
A cardinal rests quietly near the window — not loud, not dramatic — simply present.
It is the question we sometimes whisper when loneliness settles in:
Is anyone still here? Does anyone see me? Does Heaven still remember this address?
This painting is not about answers that thunder.
It is about reassurances that arrive gently.
Sometimes presence does not knock.
It waits.
In the middle of uncertainty, in the spaces where we feel unseen,
there are quiet reminders that we are still known.
Still watched over.
Still held.
This piece rests inside the truth that even when the house feels silent,
we are not forgotten.

“The Lord your God is in your midst,
a mighty one who will save;
he will rejoice over you with gladness;
he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing.” Zepheniah 3:17 ESV
