Lent (Premium Matte Paper Wooden Framed Poster)

This oil painting on canvas was created as a pro bono commission for a church in Tacoma, Washington, USA—a visual meditation on the solemn beauty of Lent. The seven weeks before Easter are a time of simplicity, restraint, and introspection. It is a season of letting go, of making space, both spiritually and metaphorically, for renewal and growth.

This piece is part of Alan Yost’s classical art series, combining white chalk art, figurative drawing, and museum-quality prints to evoke timeless elegance.

The arid landscape of Lent mirrors the quiet stillness of self-examination, yet it also hints at the promise of transformation. Fittingly, this period of reflection always unfolds in the spring, when nature itself reminds us that from stillness comes new life.

This piece invites the viewer to pause, reflect, and embrace the quiet strength of the Lenten season.

The framed version comes professionally mounted, adding elegance and structure for a polished presentation.
