Stolen Time 173 - the River of Heaven was painted in late 2022, part of Richard's ongoing Stolen Time series that he began during the first lockdown in England in 2020.
This is a night painting, with a sense of the light shining out of the darkness. As we look towards the New Year these lines from the poem The Turning Year by Su Tong P'o come to mind:
Silently the River of Heaven turns in the Jade Vault.
If tonight I do not enjoy life to the full
Next month, next year, who knows where I will be?
