"Today, we bring you another focus challenge, inviting you to spend uninterrupted time looking at a piece of art. This one, a painting by Elisheva Biernoff of a found photograph, is called Advent. It's small, just five inches wide, matching the dimensions of the original photo. She painted it last year. (These challenges are published on the first Monday of each month. Sign up here if you'd like to be notified.)"

An invitation asks readers to spend uninterrupted time looking at a small painting titled Advent by Elisheva Biernoff. The work is a painted version of a found photograph and measures five inches wide, matching the original photograph's dimensions. The painting was completed last year. The focus-challenge series publishes a new piece on the first Monday of each month, and interested people can sign up for notifications. The exercise emphasizes concentrated, slow looking and close attention to scale, detail, and the relationship between photographic source material and painted reproduction. The small size fosters intimate engagement and prolonged observation.
