I created this painting specifically for our bedroom, using the green and plum color of our area rug and the themes of leaves and nature in the bed linens. The frog was modeled from a little green pillow with gold frogs on it that sits on our bed. When it came time to title it I was at a loss until suddenly "Evensong" came to mind - it means "Evening Prayer" in Anglican churches. The soft cheeping and thrum of frogs as dusk turns to night is very much nature's prayer to my ears, and seemed the right name for a painting that I will fall asleep under.
