ABOUT THE ARTWORK
2024
Oil on stretched linen
90 x 60 cm
Every now and then I feel inspired to do an artwork of a more spiritual nature and this is one such work. It is inspired by a passage from the book of Isaiah, chapter 40:27-31, which reads: Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God? Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: but they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. I created this artwork as an encouragement to myself - a reminder that when I wait on God, when I lean on Him, look to Him and depend on Him, I will know a strength that is not my own and be raised up when I would otherwise fall. This oil painting measures 90 x 60 cm (stretched canvas) and features the South African 'Crowned Eagle'. Many thanks to Serval Paul Photography for the photo of the eagle that I worked from. I added in a dramatic sky to help capture the overall feel that I wanted in this work.
This image will print best on ILFORD's GALERIE Gold Fibre Gloss paper.
With Wings as Eagles
Most of my original artworks are available in archival quality print form and are printed using the giclée process by ACME et al in Steels Creek, Victoria. Each stage of the printing process is carefully overseen by James, the printer (with nearly three decades of industry experience), to ensure the highest quality product. These prints are made to last for decades with minimal fading and are printed on high-end, sturdy papers.
Because the prints are made on demand and printed individually rather being mass-produced, please allow between two to three weeks for processing and delivery of your order (or a little longer for customers outside of Australia).
Please note that framing is not included with print purchases.
