"Seven Days"

Original Art by Elaine Lazarus
Gouache on watercolor paper, 13” x 19”
Framed size: 13” x 19”

Seven Days celebrates Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year and the anniversary of God creating the world. Inspired by the biblical story of Genesis, the artwork reflects the unfolding of the seven days: light and darkness, sky and sea, land and life, culminating in the creation of humanity. At the center, Adam and Eve stand beneath a branching tree that unites time, nature, and spirit, symbolizing both the birth of humanity and the eternal rhythm of renewal. Through bold color and vibrant imagery, the work commemorates  a moment to reflect, repent, and embrace the gift of life.
